Struggling to get cooked food in Grow a Garden Beanstalk Update? Learn how to unlock the Cooking Kit, discover recipes, boost Goliath’s friendship, and access exclusive rewards like rare seeds, pets, and cosmetics in this detailed 2025 guide.
The Beanstalk Update in Roblox Grow a Garden has completely transformed how players interact with farming, crafting, and progression. With the addition of new plants, adorable pets, powerful tools, and the exciting Friendship Shop tab in Goliath’s Goods, the game feels richer than ever. One of the biggest changes players are asking about is: How do you get cooked food now that Chris P’s temporary cooking pot is gone?
Cooked food is no longer tied to short-term events—it’s now a permanent progression system that rewards players with achievements, rare items, and exclusive cosmetic unlocks. Let’s break down everything you need to know about unlocking the Cooking Kit, discovering recipes, feeding Goliath, and making the most of your farming efforts.
How to Get Cooked Food in Grow a Garden (Cooking Kit Guide)
To cook food in the Beanstalk update, you’ll need to unlock the Cooking Kit, a permanent tool that lets you turn crops into dishes. Unlike the old limited-time cooking pot, this kit is tied to Garden Guide achievements and can be earned by completing specific milestones in your garden.
Once you place the Cooking Kit cosmetic in your garden, you can start cooking by:
- Holding an ingredient from your inventory.
- Interacting with the Cooking Kit.
- Adding all required ingredients into the cooking interface.
- Clicking the green “Cook” button to begin preparing the dish.
- Waiting a short time for the meal to be ready.
This is now the standard way of producing food, and every dish you cook will be useful for increasing Goliath’s Friendship Level, which unlocks powerful rewards.
How to Unlock the Cooking Kit in Grow a Garden
The Cooking Kit is unlocked by completing specific achievements in the Garden Guide. While you’ll get your first kit from Common achievements, there are also bonus kits tied to Rare and Mythical achievements, allowing you to expand your cooking capacity as you progress.
Common Achievements (First Cooking Kit Unlock)
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Shovel 100 Plants | Dig up 100 plants in your garden |
| Harvest 200 Carrots | Collect 200 carrots |
| Gift 1 Carrot | Give a carrot to another player |
| Sell 500 Strawberries | Sell 500 strawberries at the market |
| Gift 5 Strawberries | Give five strawberries to other players |
Completing these tasks not only boosts your farming efficiency but guarantees your first Cooking Kit. As of August 2025, many players are reporting they can unlock the kit in just 2–3 hours of casual gameplay, especially by focusing on mass carrot harvesting and strawberry sales.
All Grow a Garden Cooking Recipes
With the Cooking Kit unlocked, recipes are the heart of the new cooking system. Each recipe requires specific crops and items, with the rarity of the dish determining how many points you’ll earn when feeding Goliath.
Example Recipe List
| Dish | Ingredients | Rarity | Friendship Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrot Stew | 3x Carrots | Common | 2 |
| Strawberry Jam | 5x Strawberries | Uncommon | 3 |
| Hearty Salad | 2x Lettuce + 2x Carrot | Rare | 4 |
| Divine Pie | 1x Golden Wheat + 3x Strawberries + 1x Honey | Divine | 7 |
| Goliath’s Feast | Mixed rare crops | Transcended | 9 |
Players are actively discovering new recipes daily, and guides on Roblox forums show that Divine Pie is currently the most popular mid-tier dish due to its balanced cost and high friendship gain. Rare crops like Glowpods and Flare Melons also factor heavily into high-level dishes.

How to Increase Friendship Level in Grow a Garden
The only way to raise your Friendship Level is by feeding Goliath cooked dishes. The rarity of the dish directly determines how many points you’ll gain.
Cooked Food Friendship Point Values
| Dish Rarity | Points Value |
|---|---|
| Common | 2 |
| Uncommon | 3 |
| Rare | 4 |
| Legendary | 5 |
| Mythical | 6 |
| Divine | 7 |
| Prismatic | 8 |
| Transcended | 9 |
Friendship Level Requirements
| Friendship Level | Points Required |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | 20 |
| Level 2 | 30 |
| Level 3 | 40 |
| Level 4 | 50 |
| Level 5 | 60 |
| Level 6 | 70 |
| Level 7 | 80 |
Reaching Level 7 can be a grind, but many players are already strategizing by cooking higher-tier dishes like Divine and Prismatic recipes to save time. As of the current update, the most efficient path is farming for Golden Wheat and Glowpods, since they are staples in several high-point recipes.
Why Cooked Food Matters in the Beanstalk Update
Cooking isn’t just another side activity—it’s a core mechanic of the Beanstalk update. Here’s why it matters:
- Unlocks exclusive cosmetics such as statues, paintings, and themed furniture.
- Boosts farming progression by letting you earn unique seeds like Flare Melon.
- Ties directly to pet collection, since the Pet Shard GiantBean is locked behind Friendship Levels.
- Keeps the economy active, as players trade crops for rare cooking ingredients.
As of this month, the Roblox community is buzzing with excitement about the long-term depth this system adds—turning Grow a Garden from a simple farming simulator into a layered progression experience.

By completing Garden Guide achievements, unlocking the Cooking Kit, experimenting with recipes, and feeding Goliath, you’ll steadily work your way through the Friendship Levels and gain access to some of the most exclusive rewards in the game.
