Article: Ilze Dreyer from women24
The Oprah Magazine Cookbook (Hyperion)
In the Talk Queen's own words, "I wanted recipes that rely on the quality of the ingredients, stories that reflect the culture of a country or the life of a cook and photographs that leap off the page. I wanted to tap into imaginations of the most creative people (whether four-star chefs or just plain fabulous cooks) who ever put on an apron."
The book includes contributions from some big gourmet-foodie hitters such as Daniel Boulud (multi-award winning chef), Bobby Flay (Food Network host and owner of five restaurants), Norma Jean Darden (the queen of Southern-cuisine) and some more obvious contributions from Gayle King (best friend), Maya Angelou (mentor), Colin Cowie (personal party planner) and Andre Walker (Oprah's hairdresser).
The layout follows the style of the O magazine and it is fun and quite easy to follow. While some of the pictures leap off the page, it's inconsistent and one would expect something a bit more daring on the food styling front.
It also contains interesting anecdotes from the contributors and I found the back section very helpful with its easy guide for recipes that are healthy, easy to make and those that are best for entertaining .
The recipes are truly delicious and I wouldn't mind having this cookbook in my kitchen for making a dish for a special occasion or just a simple dinner in front of the telly while watching an Oprah re-run.
One can only imagine that with the almost godlike pull of Miss Winfrey, that it will be sold out before you can say "spaghetti bolognaise". So don't dilly-dally getting your hands on this one.
