You can acquire the Pet by opening a Culinarian Chest. The chest can be obtained by submitting Mutated meals to the Rat Connoisseur NPC. Here is a step-by-step guide:

• Select a recipe and collect all the ingredients required to make it. Note that the fruits must have at least one Mutation. This is because the Rat Connoisseur NPC will only accept food with Mutations.
• Put all the collected fruits in the Cooking Pot and press the “Cook” button attached to it. You can check the chances of the food obtaining a Mutation on the Mutation meter on the pot.
• Wait for the cooking process to conclude. If you obtain a Mutated meal, the game will show a “Lucky Cook” message on screen.
• Equip the Mutated meal from your inventory.
• Go near the Rat Connoisseur NPC and interact with him by pressing the “E” key on your keyboard.
• Select the “Try this food I cooked up” dialogue option.
• The NPC will take the food and show the rewards you can obtain. He will give you three options, letting you choose one. Select the Culinarian Chest if it appears in the selection pool.

Note: The Culinarian Chest has a 40% chance of appearing in the reward pool.
