In “Good Lookin’ Cookin,’” Dolly and Rachel offer tips for hosting events year-round, featuring twelve multi-course menus with cherished recipes for various occasions. Publisher Penguin Random House stated, “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 cookbook boasts over 80 recipes, accompanied by photographs capturing Dolly and her sister, providing readers an authentic glimpse into the Parton family experience.
Among the featured recipes are American classics like country ham and biscuits, barbecue spare ribs, family-favorite meatloaf, and pantry staples like cake mixes, muffin mixes, and pancakes.
In a recent interview with Yahoo! Life, Dolly shared additional insights about the book, emphasizing flavor over aesthetics and drawing inspiration from her Southern heritage.
“My food is not pretty but it is good. I kind of do that Southern thing my mom and my aunts did where it’s about tasting good and cooking for the multitudes. I still love to cook, but my sister Rachel does most of the serious cooking.”
Clarifying their joint effort, Dolly revealed that she and her sister were collaboratively crafting the cookbook.
“We’re putting a cookbook out together on recipes from the past and things I’ve gathered traveling all around the world. She’s a great cook, so we’re going to come out with a cookbook in the near future called Good Lookin’ Cookin’ because she knows how to make it pretty and make it taste good,” Dolly shared.
