What was life really like for women in the late 1950s and early 60s? Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not an average woman, she is a female chemist at an all-male research facility. The only non-misogynist male at the facility is Calvin Evans, a brilliant scientist. When they meet the chemical attraction is immediately evident and they soon are a couple. Because life is messy and there is not always a happy ending to every story, Elizabeth finds herself a few years later on her own with a child. Elizabeth is the popular host of an afternoon cooking show called, Supper at Six. She is teaching the afternoon housewives and children how to cook with chemistry. Along with recipes that include H2O and a quarter teaspoon of sodium chloride, she is blunt, honest and the public "eats" up the witty unconventional comments. Filled with uncommon characters such as six-thirty the dog, Mad her daughter and a host of others. This was funny, witty, and poignant.
