(CNN) Oprah Winfrey is writing her first cookbook, "Food, Health and Happiness: 'On Point' Recipes for Great Meals and a Better Life." "In 'Food, Health and Happiness' Oprah has created a cookbook that is as inspiring as Oprah herself." The former queen of daytime credits her recent weight loss of more than 20 pounds to Weight Watchers. Her publisher, Flatiron Books, says it will now publish the cookbook first and push back the memoir release date. "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.
