In fact, Elizabeth Zott 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.

NIGELLA LAWSON'Elizabeth Zott is an iconic heroine - a feminist who refuses to be quashed, a mother who believes that her child is a person to behold, rather than to mould, and who will leave you, and the lens through which you see the world, quite changed' PANDORA SYKES'It's the world versus Elizabeth Zott, and I had no trouble choosing a side. A page-turning and highly satisfying tale: zippy, zesty, and Zotty' MAGGIE SHIPSTEAD, author of GREAT CIRCLE

An elegant, deluxe edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller--marking the 2nd anniversary of its publication--that will make the perfect gift or treat for yourself. Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out 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. When she finds herself unwed and pregnant, she's forced out, reluctantly taking a job as the host of the TV cooking show Supper at Six. But Elizabeth has no intention of sticking to the recipe. Instead, she teaches women what they're really made of - at the molecular level. And in doing so, dares them to change the status quo.

Kemiker Elizabeth Zott er ikke nogen almindelig kvinde. Faktisk ville hun være den første til at påpege, at der ikke er noget, der hedder “en almindelig kvinde”. Men vi befinder os i de tidlige 1960’ere, og hendes mandlige kolleger på Hastings Forskningsinstitut har et meget uvidenskabeligt syn på ligestilling. Lige bortset fra én: Calvin Evans, den højt begavede, ensomme, Nobelprisnominerede nagbærer, som bliver forelsket i – af alle ting – hendes sind.Og resultatet er en kemi, der er værd at skrive hjem om.Modsat videnskaben er livet ikke noget, der kan sættes på formel, og et par år senere er Elizabeth Zott ikke blot alenemor, men også stjerne i Amerikas mest elskede madlavningsprogram, Vi spiser klokken seks. Elizabeths usædvanlige tilgang til madlavning (med sætninger som: “drys begge sider med natriumklorid og piperin”) viser sig at være revolutionerende. Hendes fanskare vokser støt, men ikke alle er lige glade. Det skyldes, at Elizabeth Zott ikke alene lærer de amerikanske kvinder at lave mad. Hun opfordrer dem også til at udfordre status quo.Kemi for begyndere er en hylende morsom, skarpt observerende roman bestrøet med blændende biroller, og den er lige så original og livfuld som sin hovedperson.
