Another remnant of our American hol is Dolly Parton's personal collection of family recipes that I purchased in Dollywood, Tennessee. More Dolly recipes to follow! I've used a few recipe books in the past and sometimes the final products are not as good as I expected. Everything from this book has so far been very yummy. My favourite is her Peanut Butter Cookies. These are simple to make and turn our perfectly; soft, chewy and delicious!
Recipe extract from Dolly Parton's "Tennessee Mountain Home Cooking"
