in the hopes that it’d give me a glimpse of what being a part of Dolly’s world would look like. For the most part, I wasn’t disappointed. The biscuits were tender and fluffy, the coleslaw creamy and tangy, with the genius addition of pickle juice. Though Dolly claimed in anearlier this year she’d never share the secret ingredients in her chicken and dumplings , the recipe lives in this out-of-print book. The dish is simple, but incredibly satisfying.
The only text in the book besides the recipes is a short two-paragraph introduction from the Dollywood staff. “Good food, friends, and family are three things that folks here in these mountains have in abundance,” it reads. “We hope that as you serve these recipes to your family, they remind you of us and your visit to our area. Happy memories and happy eating from our Dollywood family to yours.”
There’s an element of fantasy and escapism built into all theme parks; it comes with the price of admission. But it’s nice to think of—and believe in—the vision of Dollywood that’s on display in the cookbook: a utopian Dolly-themed community where everyone gets along and contributes their very best dishes to the potluck. If a visit to Dollywood is as fun, comforting, and delicious as cooking through this book was, then it’s time to book my ticket to Knoxville, Tennessee.
