Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman, and she's well aware that there's no such thing as an "average" woman. As a chemist in the early 1960s, she's the only woman on an all-male team at Hastings Research Institute. The team's views on equality are unscientific, except for one member: Calvin Evans, a brilliant Nobel Prize nominee who falls in love with Elizabeth's mind despite his grudges. True chemistry develops between them, but life is unpredictable and a few years later, Elizabeth finds herself a single mother and the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six.
Elizabeth's unique approach to cooking, which involves combining unusual ingredients like acetic acid and sodium chloride, proves revolutionary and attracts a large following. However, not everyone is pleased with her success. Elizabeth's cooking show is not just about teaching women to cook; it's about encouraging them to challenge the status quo.
Lessons in Chemistry is a hilarious and insightful novel with a brilliant cast of characters. Elizabeth's unconventional journey is both original and captivating, making her a memorable and dynamic protagonist.
I just listened to “lessons in chemistry” and an audiobook form, and it was amazing!
