Chemist Elizabeth Zot is far from an average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zot would be the first to point out that there is no average woman. However, we are in the early 60s, and the male-dominated team at the Hastings Research Institute where she works has a completely unscientific view of equality. Except for the star of the scientific community, Calvin Evans, a Nobel Prize nominee. Evans is lonely, brilliant, sympathetic but also clumsy. And he falls in love with her, but for what else, for her mind. Real chemistry!

But just like science, life is unpredictable. A few years later, Elizabeth Zot will find herself unmarried, with a child and a dog, presenting - strangely enough - the most successful cooking show on television. Her unusual approach to cooking proves to be revolutionary. However, as her audience grows, so does the dissatisfaction of some. Because it seems that Elizabeth Zot not only teaches women the secrets of the kitchen, but mainly teaches them that a woman's place is outside of it. She challenges them to change their way of life.

Meet the unconventional, uncompromising Elizabeth Zot.
