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 it's 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,
Nobel Prize-nominated grudge holder who falls
in love with of all things her mind. True
chemistry results.
Like science, though, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother but also the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ("combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride") proves revo- lutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because, as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo.
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.
