Try To Contain Your Excitement: Oprah Is Releasing Her First Cookbook Ever

You might need to sit down. Oprah Winfrey is releasing a cookbook in early 2017. You read that correctly. According to the Associated Press, Oprah will pen a recipe book inspired by her experience with Weight Watchers. In a statement, Oprah said, "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." If the recipes are anything like what she's alluded to before, we are bursting with excitement.

Entitled Food, Health, and Happiness: 'On Point' Recipes For Great Meals and a Better Life, Oprah's cookbook is slated to come out on Jan. 3, 2017. Flatiron Books will publish the recipe collection — as well as her memoir, which will now be put on the back burner. We're only disappointed the cookbook won't be released before Christmas, because what a perfect present it would be.
