Dolly Parton is cooking up a lot more than just music these days. The rock legend has announced first ever cookbook “Good Lookin’ Cookin,” which is now available to pre-order on Amazon, where it’s already a No. 1 bestseller mere hours after arriving online.
Parton teamed up with her sister Rachel Parton George for the comprehensive book, which features the pair’s top tips for hosting events all year long, including twelve multi-course menus of cherished recipes for New Year’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and more. “You’ll learn how much butter or whipped cream goes into a ‘Dolly Dollop,’ what condiment is almost always on the table at Parton family meals, and what special dish Rachel makes at Dolly’s request every year for her birthday,” the book’s logline reads.
The more than 80 recipes include American classics such as Country Ham and Biscuits, Barbecue Spare Ribs, Family Favorite Meatloaf, Slaw of Many Colors, Watermelon Fruit Salad, Mac and Cheese and Strawberry Shortcake.
“I wrote this book with my sister, Rachel, who might just be the best cook I know,” Parton wrote in an Instagram post Friday morning. “If you’re like us, you believe that good food and good times are the next best thing to pure love. So take a journey with us, into the kitchen.”
Parton also recently released her long-promised “rock album,” titled “Rockstar,” last November, including a 30-song track list with dozens of celebrity guests such as Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The album is available on CD and vinyl here.
