Dolly Parton is best known for being a country music icon—and the face behind similarly iconic Dollywood—the "Jolene" singer is stepping into a new role: cookbook author.

Parton announced the release of her first-ever cookbook, Good Lookin' Cookin', on social media Tuesday. And while the new project won't hit bookstores until September, it's already on pre-order.

"Well, what’s cookin’, good lookin'? It’s our new cookbook!" Dolly wrote on Instagram. "I wrote this book with my sister, Rachel, who might just be the best cook I know. If you’re like us, you believe that good food and good times are the next best thing to pure love."

In a carousel of photos shared to her Instagram, fans can get a sneak peak of the singer's recipes, which includes sweet and savory Southern dishes.

"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," Parton was quoted as saying, per Good Morning America. "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."

The siblings' new book includes hosting tips and recipes for New Year's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and more. According to Parton herself, you'll learn "how much butter or whipped cream goes into a 'Dolly Dollop,'" the Parton fam's fave condiments, and even the "special dish" Dolly requests every year for her birthday.

The cookbook includes "American classics" like Country Ham and Biscuits, Barbecue Spare Ribs, Family Favorite Meatloaf, Watermelon Fruit Salad, Mac and Cheese, and Strawberry Shortcake.

"Cooking with my sister Dolly, looking through favorite recipes and recalling stories has been great fun. Through the years, we've washed many dishes, cleaned up plenty of spills and shared a lot of laughter. And somehow, we always manage to end up with good lookin' cookin'," Dolly's sister Rachel Parton George said in the press release. "Everyone knows Dolly as a great singer-songwriter, and she is, but she's also very creative in the kitchen."
