INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH PANDORA SYKES
Meet Elizabeth Zott. Scientist. Trailblazer. Rule-breaker.
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.

Critic Reviews

The most charming, life-enhancing novel I've read in ages. A perfect delight. It's about Elizabeth Zott, a scientist who accidentally becomes a TV cook in the early 1960s. Very strongly recommend

This triumphant feminist fable, wittily observed, is teeming with vivid comic set-pieces

Polished, funny, thought-provoking. Wearing its research lightly but confidently with sentences so stylishly turned it's hard to believe it's a debut ... The real pleasure is in the dry wit of Garmus's writing

Not only is Elizabeth an unforgettable character, so too are her adorable dog Six Thirty and daughter, Mad. This is a truly unique book with some great life lessons

A book that sparks joy with every page. LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY is both funny and rousing: it had me laughing one minute and air-punching the next. Bonnie Garmus has created an unforgettable heroine

It's the world versus Elizabeth Zott, an extraordinary woman determined to live on her own terms, and I had no trouble choosing a side. Lessons in Chemistry is a page-turning and highly satisfying tale: zippy, zesty, and Zotty

Full of humour, heartbreak and characters who feel like real people. This is a book that everyone will be talking about

I haven't loved a character as much as the hero of this joyful, warm debut in a very long time

Absolutely unputdownable. I completely loved it

A transporting read, recommended for fans of Where'd You Go, Bernadette and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

A wonderful book by Bonnie Garmus. This book is a reminder of how far we have come, The struggles that women went through to get recognition and accceptance of their calibre and talent. When things go bad they can get worse. But the beauty of the book is in the steadfastness of Elizabeth Zott, her nature to not compromise on her value system and her worth.This inspires others with the courage to do the right things... Harriet, Rev. Weakly, Mr. Pine, Ms Frask, Roth and Dr. Mason. The story beautifully articulate sthe bond between EElizabeth, Mad , Calvin and 630.
