Oprah Winfrey cookbook coming to stores in early 2017
Queen of All Media is getting into the publishing business -- and she has a few recipe ideas.
Oprah Winfrey is launching her own publishing imprint, and the first title the label is putting out will be the former talk-show host's first cookbook, Flatiron Books announced Wednesday.
Winfrey's "Food, Health and Happiness: 'On Point' Recipes for Great Meals and a Better Life" will be released Jan. 3, 2017 of next year. Winfrey's imprint will be a part of Flatiron, though its official name has not yet been decided. Flatiron itself is a division of MacMillan U.S.
"In the past several months on Weight Watchers, I have worked with wonderful chefs to make healthier versions of my favorite meals," Winfrey said in a statement. "When people come to my house for lunch or dinner, the number one thing they ask is, 'How is this so delicious and still healthy?' So I decided to answer that question with recipes everyone can enjoy."
Winfrey's previously announced memoir, "The Life You Want" -- which was originally slated to be the first release for the imprint -- has been postponed indefinitely.
