Dolly Parton And Her Sister Rachel Are Stealing The Spotlight

When Dolly Parton and her youngest sister, Rachel Parton George, posted rare photos together on Instagram, it was like looking at two peas in a pod. Fans couldn’t believe their eyes—these two sisters could easily pass for twins!

Meet the Dynamic Duo Behind the New Cookbook

In these photos, shared on Monday, July 1, Dolly, who’s now 78, and Rachel, 64, are promoting their new cookbook, Good Lookin’ Cookin’: A Year of Meals. In one picture, the sisters are sitting on a cozy couch, both sporting their signature blonde hair and dressed in matching light blue tops as they enjoy a meal together. Another photo showcases their edgy side, with both rocking camouflage and army green outfits. It’s clear that these sisters not only share a love for cooking but also for fashion.

What Fans Are Saying

Fans were quick to comment on the striking resemblance between the sisters. One user wrote, “All of you sisters look alike. Beautiful! Wow!” Another added, “Twin beauties.” It’s not surprising that people are so captivated by the bond these two share—it’s a rare glimpse into the world of Dolly Parton and her family.

A Little About Rachel

Rachel is one of Dolly’s 12 siblings, all of whom were raised by their parents, Avie Lee Caroline and Robert Lee Parton Sr., on the banks of the Little Pigeon River in Pittman Center, Tennessee. Like her famous sister, Rachel is a talented singer and actress. She even appeared in the TV sitcom 9 to 5, which was based on Dolly’s 1980 hit film of the same name. It’s clear that the Parton family has a knack for creativity and talent.

Get Ready for a Feast of Flavors

The eagerly anticipated cookbook, Good Lookin’ Cookin’: A Year of Meals, is set to hit shelves on September 17. Dolly first announced the project back in March, and fans have been counting down the days ever since. “Well, what’s cookin’, good lookin’? It’s our new cookbook! I wrote this book with my sister, Rachel, who might just be the best cook I know,” Dolly wrote in an Instagram post featuring the book cover. She went on to say, “If you’re like us, you believe that good food and good times are the next best thing to pure love. So take a journey with us, into the kitchen. #GoodLookinCookin hits bookstores September 17th!”

Why This Project Is So Special

For Dolly, working with her sister on this cookbook has been an absolute dream. “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,” she 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.”

What to Expect in the Cookbook

The cookbook is packed with over 80 recipes, including some of Dolly’s personal favorites, like country ham and biscuits, and the ever-popular strawberry shortcake. According to a statement from Penguin Random House, readers will discover how much butter or whipped cream goes into a “Dolly Dollop,” the condiment that’s almost always on the table at Parton family meals, and the special dish Rachel makes for Dolly every year on her birthday. “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’,” the statement reads.
