"I loved this book. It tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, a Chemist, stuck in a misogynistic workplace in small town USA, unable to progress in her career due to prejudices by her male colleagues, so she is forced to resign and ends up fronting a cooking show, which becomes wildly popular with common housewives, making her a sensation. She has a revolutionary approach to cooking, explaining all steps by chemical reactions, and encourages women to change the status quo in their marriages, enabling them to think more of themselves and their careers.

Such a refreshing read. thoroughly recommend it."
