Life is unpredictable. And so it is that chemist, widow, and single mother Elizabeth Zott suddenly finds herself the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show: Supper at Six. But it is the early 1960s, and not everyone is happy with Elizabeth’s popularity. Because Elizabeth Zott is not just teaching women to cook; she is daring them to change the status quo.

Review

I flew through Lessons in Chemistry in only a few sittings because I was absolutely hooked. Elizabeth Zott is such a fearless, strong, and inspiring main character. While she struggles to be seen as a chemist, she refuses to let how others see her hold her back. Even when she is working as a television host, she maintains her identity as a chemist.
