“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,” publisher Penguin Random House said in a statement.

“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 book will include over 80 recipes, complemented by photographs featuring Dolly and her sister, offering readers an authentic glimpse into the Parton family experience.

A few of the featured recipes include American classics like country ham and biscuits, barbecue spare ribs, family favorite meatloaf, and a variety of pantry staples like cake mixes, muffin mixes, and pancakes.

Last month, in an interview with Yahoo! Life, Dolly shared additional insights about the book.

Dolly reflected on her cooking style, emphasizing the importance of 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.”

Explaining their collaboration, Dolly disclosed that she and her sister were jointly creating 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.

Fans eager to secure their copies as soon as possible can pre-order theirs today.
