The sisters revealed in an interview with Allrecipes that “Good Lookin’ Cookin'” was inspired by their family’s three main principles: “God, music, and food.”
“The three main things in our family were God, music, and food,” Parton stated to the publication.
It’s just being artistic, similar to penning a song,” stated Parton. “When I was preparing my best cuisine, I had some of my best song ideas, and vice versa. My cooking improves as I get better at writing.”
The sisters’ cookbook, which will be available on Tuesday, will feature the following specific recipes: Hot Wing Dip, Family Favorite Meatloaf.
When asked which song made her think of her Hot Wing Dip, Parton said “Jolene.”
Professionally, Parton has a lot on her plate. The actress declared in June that she intended to bring “Hello, I’m Dolly” to the Broadway stage. She is co-creating a theater play inspired on her biography for a musical that she intends to open on Broadway in 2026, and she is writing new songs to complement some of her previous hits.
