Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But itâs the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobelâprize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love withâof all thingsâher mind. True chemistry results.Â
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of Americaâs most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabethâs unusual approach to cooking (âcombine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chlorideâ) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isnât just teaching women to cook. Sheâs daring them to change the status quo. Â
Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.
