Entertainment – Oprah Winfrey puts memoir ‘on hold’ to write cookbook

Oprah Winfrey has begun writing her first cookbook, which will be called, “Food, Health and Happiness: ‘On Point’ Recipes for Great Meals and a Better Life.” “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 will be publishing her cookbook first, and will push back the release date of her memoir, “The Life You Want.” “We’re thrilled to work with Oprah on this first book in the imprint,” Bob Miller, president and publisher of Flatiron Books, said in a statement. “In ‘Food, Health and Happiness’ Oprah has created a cookbook that is as inspiring as Oprah herself.”
