Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. Its the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute has a very unscientific view of equality. One male: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobelprize nominated who falls in love withher mind. True chemistry develops.But a few years later Elizabeth finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of Americas most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeths unusual approach to cooking (combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride) proves revolutionary. As her following grows, not everyone is happy. As it turns out, Elizabeth isnt just teaching women to cook, Shes daring them to change the status quo.Funny, observant, with great supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as is Elizabeth Zott.
