I loved it’ - SARA COX, BBC 2 Between the Covers‘Everyone needs to read this’ 5-star reader reviewA woman ahead of her time.But exactly right for oursChemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, she would be the first to point out that there is no such thing.But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take 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.Like science, life is unpredictable. Forced to leave her job at the institute, Elizabeth Zott soon finds herself 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.
