Meet 2022\'s most incomparable protagonist! This blockbuster debut set in 1960s California features the singular voice of Elizabeth Zott, a scientist whose career takes a detour when she becomes the star of a beloved TV cooking show.
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..
She\'s daring them to change the status quo.
Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn\'t just teaching women to cook.
But as her following grows, not everyone is happy.
Elizabeth\'s unusual approach to cooking (combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride) proves revolutionary.
Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America\'s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six .
But like science, life is unpredictable.
True Chemistry results.
Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with--of all things--her mind.
But it\'s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality.
In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. --Maggie Shipstead, best-selling author of Great Circle Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman.
It\'s the world versus Elizabeth Zott, an extraordinary woman determined to live on her own terms, and I had no trouble choosing a side...
A page-turning and highly satisfying tale: zippy, zesty, and Zotty.
