Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts here
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. 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.
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. 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.

SOON TO BE A MAJOR APPLE TV SERIAL, STARRING BRIE LARSON
'I loved Lessons in Chemistry and am devastated to have finished it!' NIGELLA LAWSON
'Elizabeth Zott is an iconic heroine - a feminist who refuses to be quashed, a mother who believes that her child is a person to behold, rather than to mould, and who will leave you, and the lens through which you see the world, quite changed' PANDORA SYKES
'It's the world versus Elizabeth Zott, and I had no trouble choosing a side. A page-turning and highly satisfying tale: zippy, zesty, and Zotty' MAGGIE SHIPSTEAD, author of GREAT CIRCLE
Elizabeth Zott ist eine Frau mit dem unverkennbaren Auftreten eines Menschen, der nicht durchschnittlich ist und es nie sein wird. Doch es ist 1961, und die Frauen tragen Hemdblusenkleider und treten Gartenvereinen bei. Niemand traut ihnen zu, Chemikerin zu werden. Außer Calvin Evans, dem einsamen, brillanten Nobelpreiskandidaten, der sich ausgerechnet in Elizabeths Verstand verliebt. Aber auch 1961 geht das Leben eigene Wege. Und so findet sich eine alleinerziehende Elizabeth Zott bald in der TV-Show »Essen um sechs« wieder. Doch für sie ist Kochen Chemie. Und Chemie bedeutet Veränderung der Zustände ...
So smart wie »Damengambit«, so amüsant wie »Mrs. Maisel«
Mas tal como na ciência, a vida nem sempre segue uma linha reta. Anos mais tarde, Elizabeth é mãe solteira e a estrela relutante do programa de culinária mais amado da América, o Jantar às Seis. A sua abordagem à cozinha é extravagante (“combine uma colher de sopa de ácido acético com uma pitada de cloreto de sódio”) e revolucionária (mais do que apresentar receitas, ela está a incentivar um número crescente de mulheres a desafiar o mundo). A sua popularidade irrita muita gente.
Longe dos holofotes, Elizabeth também usa a ciência para alimentar o corpo irrequieto e a mente subversiva da filha de quatro anos, Madeline, bem como o espírito crítico de Seis e Meia, o cão. Mas o seu destino parece eternamente adiado. Conseguirá ela cumprir o que em tempos um grande amor profetizou num sussurro?
Elizabeth Zott, ainda vais mudar o mundo.
Faites la connaissance de l'anticonformiste et intransigeante Elizabeth Zott.
Votre capacité à tout changer commence ici et maintenant.
Elizabeth Zott n'est pas une femme ordinaire. Elle serait d'ailleurs la première à faire remarquer qu'il n'en existe pas. Nous sommes au début des années 1960 et, à l'Institut de recherche Hastings où elle est chimiste, les hommes ont une vision très peu scientifique de l'égalité. Seul fait exception le solitaire et brillant Calvin Evans, favori pour le prix Nobel, qui tombe amoureux de l'esprit rationnel d'Elizabeth et de sa beauté. Le résultat d'une véritable alchimie.
Comme la science, la vie prend parfois des détours : Elizabeth abandonne la chimie pour devenir la vedette de l'émission de cuisine la plus populaire d'Amérique avec ses techniques inhabituelles qui se révèlent révolutionnaires. Mais, alors que son influence grandit, elle ne fait pas que des heureux. Il s'avère qu'elle n'apprend pas uniquement aux femmes à faire la cuisine, elle les met aussi au défi de changer le statu quo. Perspicace, juste, drôle, imprévisible, ce roman offre une galerie de portraits éblouissants et se montre aussi original et éclatant que son inoubliable personnage principal.
