'Jetzt wird es Zeit für ein enthusiastisches Lob: Dieser Debütroman vereinigt Tiefgang mit Witz! Ein großer, kluger literarischer Spaß - und ein anrührender Familienroman.' Denis ScheckElizabeth Zott ist eine Frau mit dem Auftreten eines Menschen, der nicht durchschnittlich ist und es nie sein wird. Doch es ist 1961, und die Frauen tragen Hemdblusenkleider und treten Gartenvereinen bei. Niemand traut ihnen zu, Chemikerinnen zu werden. Aber schon 1961 geht das Leben eigene Wege. Und so nimmt Elizabeth einen Job als Moderatorin der biederen TV-Kochshow 'Essen um sechs' an. Doch auch hier hat sie ihren eigenen Kopf. Denn für sie ist Kochen Chemie - und Chemie bedeutet Veränderung der Zustände!'In Elizabeth Zott verliebt man sich total. Sie ist so toll und natürlich dargestellt, dass ich sie sogar gegoogelt habe: Die muss es doch wirklich geben, habe ich gedacht! Lange habe ich nicht ein so unterhaltendes, witziges und kluges Buch gelesen wie dieses.' Elke Heidenreich'Wie frisch Atem holen! Ein ausgesprochenes Vergnügen - hintersinnig, warm und unwiderstehlich.' Claire Lombardo

Which is why a few years later, Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six.

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.
