Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Set in 1960s California, this debut features the unique voice of Elizabeth Zott, a scientist whose career takes an unexpected turn when she becomes the star of a popular TV cooking show. Elizabeth is anything but average, and she would be the first to assert that no woman is. Despite her scientific background, she faces significant gender bias in her field. The only bright spot on her journey to professional success is her encounter with Calvin Evans, a superstar colleague who treats her and her ideas as equals. Calvin, a Nobel nominee, is kind, awkward, and tenacious, and their chemistry is undeniable. However, three years later, Elizabeth finds herself an unwed single mother in the early 60s, now the host of "Supper at Six." Her unconventional cooking style—"take one pint of H2O and add a pinch of sodium chloride"—and her independent spirit are becoming revolutionary. Elizabeth isn't just teaching women how to cook; she's inspiring them to challenge societal norms. With humor, keen observations, and a vibrant cast of characters, including a memorable canine companion, this story is as original and lively as its protagonist.
