Lessons in Chemistry \;is set in 1960s California and features the singular voice of Chem ist Elizabeth Zott\, a scientist whose career takes an unexpected detour. Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact\, Elizabeth Zott would b e the first to point out that there is no such thing as an \;average&n bsp\;woman. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Res earch Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one : Calvin Evans\; the lonely\, brilliant\, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-hol der who falls in love with--of all things--her mind. True chemistry result s.
\nBut like science\, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few ye ars 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 a s her following grows\, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out\, E lizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to chan ge the status quo.
