Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” isn’t just about working hard-it’s also about savouring family time, especially when it involves cooking up something special with her sister Rachel Parton George.
The Parton sisters have fans wondering if a cooking show could be in their future. During a recent TalkShopLive session, hosted by Trisha Yearwood and her sister, Beth Bernard, Dolly and Rachel discussed their new cookbook Good Lookin’ Cookin’: A Year of Meals. A fan asked if the duo had plans to sing or act together again. Dolly’s response hinted at a different kind of collaboration, saying, “I’m hoping Rachel wants to do a cooking show or something.”
She even suggested that Rachel incorporate her musical talents into the show, adding, “If you do a show, you got to get that guitar out and sing on at least one song.” And Rachel seemed open to the idea, joking, “I’ll have a skillet and a guitar.”
Meanwhile, Trisha chimed in, noting how well food and music go together. Dolly agreed, though she emphasised that they aren’t actively seeking new projects, leaving the door open by saying, “We’re just excited about the book and who knows what might come from that?”
