How to Make Porridge in Grow a Garden
August 16, 2025
Porridge is one of the specialty dishes introduced in the Kitchen Storm Update. It’s a warm, filling food that you can cook for yourself or to satisfy the cravings of Chris P. Bacon, the chef NPC on your island.
Cooking porridge isn’t just about throwing ingredients into a pot — you’ll need to grow or gather the right crops, combine them in the correct order, and cook them using the island’s Cooking Pot.
Understanding Porridge Ingredients
Porridge requires three core components:
- Cream – examples include corn, cauliflower, banana, and similar creamy-textured crops.
- Base – similar items to cream, but functioning as the main body of the porridge (corn, cauliflower, banana, etc.).
- Fruit – sweet and juicy additions such as peach, grape, apple, and others.
Tip: Many crops can serve as both cream and base, but fruits are always distinct. Always double-check in the Recipe Book next to Chris P. Bacon to see what you can make with your current harvest.

Extra Tips for Porridge Cooking
- Plan your garden layout: Keep at least one crop of each porridge ingredient growing so you can quickly make any recipe.
- Stockpile rare crops: Items like Bone Blossom, Moon Melon, and Ember Lily can be harder to find, so save extras in storage.
- Watch for seasonal changes: Some fruits may only be available during certain in-game seasons, so plan your planting accordingly.
