Ever wonder what Dolly Parton cooks up when she’s hosting her family and friends for dinner? Well, you’ll soon have access to that knowledge and even try a few of the recipes out for yourself! Dolly and her sister Rachel Parton George are releasing a cookbook together in September called Good Lookin’ Cookin’: A Year of Meals, and it’s part cookbook and part memoir with the sisters sharing both family recipes and stories.
Available for pre-order on Amazon, Good Lookin’ Cookin’ is a book of 12 “multi-course menus of cherished recipes for New Year’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and more,” the book’s Amazon listing reads. These recipes include how to make a “Dolly Dollop,” Dolly’s favorite meal that Rachel makes for her every year for her birthday, and which condiment is always on the Parton family table no matter the meal being served.
The Parton sisters also share their recipes for chicken and dumplings, BBQ spare ribs, meatloaf, mac and cheese, strawberry shortcake, and a watermelon fruit salad, to name just a few. In total, the book contains more than 80 delicious Parton family recipes.
And the name comes from the song lyric, “Hey good lookin’ — what ya got cookin’?” which is what Dolly sings to Rachel every time she walks into the kitchen.
“Good Lookin’ Cookin’ is a treasured cookbook that will make you feel like part of the Parton family,” the Amazon listing continues. “With their trademark warmth and sisterly love, Dolly and Rachel remind you that cooking doesn’t need to be serious—it should be fun! And always good lookin’!”
The Parton sisters’ Good Lookin’ Cookin’ is set to release September 17, so pre-order now to make sure it ships to you as soon as it hits shelves. You can even save a few dollars when you pre-order the hardcover today, but it’s also available in Kindle format for $15.
