The multi-award-winning international bestseller, now a major Apple TV+ series starring Brie Larson. _______ There is no such thing as an average woman. Especially not Elizabeth Zott. It's the early 1960s, and Elizabeth is a brilliant chemist working in a world that believes science is a man's job. At Hastings Research Institute, the only colleague who truly recognises her extraordinary mind is Calvin Evans, a brilliant, Nobel Prize-nominated chemist. But life has other plans. When Elizabeth becomes the reluctant star of America's most popular cooking show, Supper at Six , she refuses to tell women simply how to cook. Instead, she teaches them to question the rules, trust themselves and change their lives. As millions tune in, Elizabeth is no longer demonstrating recipes. She is challenging the status quo, one molecule at a time.

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.
