For Elizabeth Zott, cooking is chemistry and chemistry is life. Meet this unconventional and irresistible woman and dare to change the world.
Elizabeth Zott is a single mother and reluctant star of America's most popular television cooking show. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking—combining a tablespoon of acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride—proves revolutionary. However, as her success grows, so do her enemies, because Elizabeth is not only teaching women to cook but also challenging them to alter the established order.
Lessons in Chemistry is an original and addictive novel that intelligently and entertainingly unravels the thorny issue of gender equality, the need to be oneself, and why we must refuse to accept the limitations of others and try to impose our own.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER
On Apple TV, starring Academy Award-winner Brie Larson.
Among the 100 Notable Books of 2022 according to The New York Times.
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Newsweek, Bookpage, Kirkus
Meet Elizabeth Zott: a "formidable, unapologetic and inspiring" (PARADE) scientist in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show in this novel that is "irresistible, satisfying and full of fuel. It reminds you that change takes time and always requires heat" (The New York Times Book Review).
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.
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 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 revolutionary. 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.
