Elizabeth Zott, a chemist, is not your typical woman. Elizabeth Zott would actually be the first to say that there isn't such a thing.
However, her all-male Hastings Research Institute staff has a very unscientific perspective on equality because it is the early 1960s. With one exception: Calvin Evans, the misanthropic, bright, and Nobel Prize nominee who falls in love with her mind of all things. Results of true chemistry.
Life is unpredictable, just like science. Because of this, Elizabeth Zott discovers herself to be a single mother and the reluctant star of Supper at Six, America's most adored cookery program, a few years later. Elizabeth uses an unconventional cooking method that is revolutionary: "combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride." But not everyone is pleased as her fan base expands. Elizabeth Zott isn't simply teaching women how to cook, it turns out. She is daring them to alter the current situation.
