Join us to discuss LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY by Bonnie Garmus. For a copy of the book, contact Marianne Charles at mcharles@cooklib.org. DROP IN
Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. The only man who ever treated her-and her ideas-as equal, Calvin is already a legend and Nobel nominee. Theirs is true chemistry. But as events are never as predictable as chemical reactions, three years later Elizabeth Zott is an unwed, single mother (did we mention it's the early 60s??) and the star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's singular approach to cooking ('take one pint of H2O and add a pinch of sodium chloride') and independent example are proving revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't just teaching women how to cook, she's teaching them how to change the status quo.
