It’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a unscientific view of equality. Except Calvin Evans the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with her. True chemistry results. As science, life is unpredictable. A few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself, a single mother, becomes the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking proves revolutionary. As her following grows, not everyone is happy. It turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo. The group enjoyed the book.
