Harry Hartog's review

I accidentally finished this book in a day! One of the most original fiction books I've read in a while - it's got science, feminism, rowing, quirky characters, zany reality cooking shows and more. You will fall in love with Elizabeth Zott and her ground-breaking attempts to hold her own in a 1960's world that is set against her. (You will also fall in love with her dog Six-Thirty - my new favourite literary dog). It's so funny and heart-warming, you will not regret picking this book up. Nor will you want to put it down! - Pippa, Harry Hartog Tuggeranong

Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts here

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, she 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.

Forced to leave her job at the institute, she soon finds herself the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six.

But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook.

She's daring them to change the status quo. One molecule at a time.
