Dolly Parton teamed up with her sister, Rachel Parton George, to publish a cook book packed with dozens of delicious recipes that are perfect to serve during special occasions throughout the year.
The sister duo published Good Lookin’ Cookin’ on Tuesday (September 17). The book includes Country Ham and Biscuits, Barbecue Spare Ribs, Family Favorite Meatloaf, Slaw of Many Colors, Watermelon Fruit Salad, Mac and Cheese, and Strawberry Shortcake, to list a few. More than 80 recipes appear in the book, with dishes for New Year’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other gatherings. The book is also full of photos of the beloved country star cooking with her sister.
"I love good cooking, but not as much as I love my sister Rachel,” Parton said in a press release issued Tuesday. “So, getting to combine the two was a joy beyond belief for me. I do believe you're going to love all these great recipes, and I think you're gonna have as much fun reading these stories and things that we put together for you as we did. I can't wait to get this book in your hands, and for you to get this food on your table."
Parton and Parton George announced the cook book earlier this year. The “Jolene” legend said her sister “might just be the best cook I know,” as she revealed the cover of the book for the first time and offered a sneak peek of some of the menu items featured in Good Lookin’ Cookin’.
“This book has always been a dream of mine,” Parton George said in a statement. “Cooking with my sister Dolly, looking through favorite recipes and recalling stories has been great fun. Through the years, we’ve washed many dishes, cleaned up plenty of spills and shared a lot of laughter. And somehow, we always manage to end up with good lookin’ cookin’! Everyone knows Dolly as a great singer-songwriter – and she is – but she’s also very creative in the kitchen. I’m so excited to share this book with you so you can experience that yourself!”
