In fact, Elizabeth Zott 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. 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.

Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo.Meet the unconventional, uncompromising Elizabeth Zott.'Lessons in Chemistry is a vibrant and original story of hope and staying true to yourself.
