In 2024, Billboard named Dolly the greatest country musician of all time, and it's hard to disagree with that. She's even a renowned philanthropist, known for her Imagination Library<\/a> foundation that distributes more than 270 million books to children worldwide. At Taste Recipes<\/em>, though, we love her for her recipes!\r\n

She's written recipes for plenty of home-style dishes, including buttermilk biscuits<\/a>, butterscotch pie<\/a> and her famous chicken and dumplings<\/a>. But it wasn't until 2024 that Dolly added \"cookbook author\" to her long list of achievements. The country queen co-authored the cookbook Good Lookin' Cookin': A Year of Meals<\/em>, with her sister Rachel Parton George. This New York Times<\/em> bestselling cookbook contains a year's worth of recipes and entertaining tips.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What's in Dolly Parton's Dirt Road Martini?<\/h2>\r\nThis Southern twist on a classic dirty martini<\/a> appears in the September section of the book, which is inspired by meals shared on the road. Their version combines vodka, unsweetened tea and a little brine from a jar of giardiniera. Dolly and Rachel assert that the colorful pickled vegetables in the giardiniera, which are used as a garnish, \"make this martini especially good lookin'.\"\r\n
