Dolly’s Many Hats

Dolly Parton is a singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, humanitarian, and…cookbook author? Yes, you read correctly!

After growing up in the South, Parton has gathered up a lot of tasty Southern recipes through the years.

In 2006, Parton decided to publish a collection of her favorite recipes in a cookbook called Dolly’s Dixie Fixin’s: Love, Laughter and Lots of Good Food From My Tennessee Mountain Kitchen. The cookbook contains over 100 recipes from Dolly’s childhood, her travels, and even Dollywood.

Dolly’s Go-To Dish

Parton simply can’t resist some good Southern comfort food, and her absolute favorite is chicken & dumplings. In fact, Parton’s love of the tasty dish runs so deep that she recently shared with her fans on Facebook that the two things she can’t live without are “books and chicken & dumplin’s.”

After Parton revealed her love of chicken & dumplings to her fans, they of course were curious to know if she had a favorite recipe. Parton was more than happy to share her recipe, and wrote it is “perfect for Sunday supper.”
