NEW YORK — To launch her own book imprint, Oprah Winfrey is releasing her first cookbook.
Winfrey’s “Food, Health and Happiness: ‘On Point’ Recipes for Great Meals and a Better Life” is set to come out Jan. 3, Flatiron Books reported. Winfrey’s imprint is part of Flatiron, 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 isn’t entirely new to the cookbook world. Her personal chef, Rosie Daley, published “In the Kitchen with Rosie: Oprah’s Favorite Recipes” in 1994. Winfrey contributed an introduction to “The Oprah Magazine Cookbook,” which came out in 2008.
In announcing the imprint last year, Winfrey had planned to start with a memoir, “The Life You Want.” That book has been postponed, according to Flatiron.
