COX BBC 2 Between the Covers 'Everyone needs to read this ' 5-star reader review ___________
A woman ahead of her time. But exactly right for ours Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your
average woman. In fact she 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. Like
science life is unpredictable. Forced to leave her job at the institute Elizabeth Zott soon
finds herself 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. One molecule at a time. __________ A New York Times 'Top 100 Best
