Dolly Parton and Her Sister Rachel Parton George Release Their Highly Anticipated Cookbook, Good Lookin' Cookin', Now Available Wherever Books Are Sold
In Good Lookin’ Cookin’, Dolly and Rachel share 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. 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 love good cooking, but not as much as I love my sister Rachel. So, getting to combine the two was a joy beyond belief for me," Dolly shared. "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."
Filled with more than 80 delicious dishes as well as photographs of Dolly and Rachel cooking and hosting all year long, Good Lookin’ Cookin’ is a treasured cookbook that will make you feel like part of the Parton family. 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’!
"This book has always been a dream of mine. Cooking with my sister Dolly, looking through favorite recipes and recalling stories has been great fun," Rachel said. "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!"

In “Around the Table with Dolly and Rachel,” the sisters sit down for a vibrant conversation, sharing fond memories of food and family, favorite shortcuts, tales of kitchen disasters, why cooking brings them joy, and why bacon makes anything better.
