The popular Roblox farming simulator, Grow a Garden, has been revitalized with its massive “Trading and Cooking Event” update, which went live on August 2, 2025. This event introduced a new layer of gameplay, allowing players to transform their harvested crops into delicious dishes for a special non-player character (NPC), a gourmet pig named Chris P. Bacon. In exchange for these culinary creations, players can earn exclusive rewards, including the coveted Gourmet egg and Gourmet Seed packs.
Among the dozen new recipes, which include everything from sushi to cake, the donut has become a particularly sought-after item. The update has shifted the game’s focus from simple farming to a more strategic challenge of growing, harvesting, and experimenting with ingredients. Players must now carefully combine their produce to create specific dishes that Chris P. Bacon requests.
The Art of Cooking in Grow a Garden
The cooking process is straightforward. Players need to approach the large Cooking Pot, hold a required ingredient from their inventory, and press ‘E’ to add it. Once all ingredients for a recipe are in the pot, a timer begins. The rarity of the ingredients used directly impacts the rarity of the final dish, which in turn determines the quality of the rewards received from Chris P. Bacon. These rarities range from Uncommon to the highly-prized Prismatic.
After the cooking time is complete, players can collect their dish and present it to Chris P. Bacon. If he’s asking for a donut, feeding him one will yield valuable rewards. According to reports from Eurogamer, the cooking time for a donut can be around 9.5 minutes, while other sources like the Hindustan Times suggest it takes approximately 5 to 6 minutes. This variation likely depends on the specific combination of ingredients used.
Complete Donut Recipe List by Rarity
Crafting the perfect donut requires specific combinations of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Based on information aggregated from multiple sources, including Radio Times and Eurogamer, here are the known recipes to create donuts of every rarity level:
- Prismatic (Highest Rarity): 1x Sugarglaze and 4x Bone Blossom
- Divine: 1x Banana, 1x Bone Blossom, and 1x Sugar Apple
- Mythical: 1x Sugar Apple and 2x Corn
- Legendary: 1x Moon Melon and 1x Blood Banana
- Uncommon (Lowest Rarity): There are two primary combinations for an Uncommon donut:
- 1x Corn, 1x Blueberry, and 1x Strawberry
- 2x Corn and 1x Spiked Mango
To begin, simply place the ingredients into the pot one by one. A chalkboard next to the pot will confirm the ingredients and the dish you are creating. Once you hit “Cook,” the timer will start. When it’s finished, take your freshly baked donut to Chris P. Bacon, interact with him, and select the option to have him try your food. The rarer the donut, the better the drop you can expect.
This new cooking mechanic has been widely praised by the community for adding significant depth to the game. It encourages players to not only cultivate a wide variety of plants but also to learn the intricate recipes needed to succeed, transforming Grow a Garden into a compelling and strategic cooking adventure.
