The plot seems to be: 1950s chemistry PhD student gets r*ped and stabs her male feminist. She gets expelled of her PhD program and becomes a girlboss in cooking with a cook show. The foid falls in love with another chemist and refuses his marriage proposals, the moid dies but she's pregnant. A few years later she was this hyper intelligent dog and a 5 year old kid who can read and quote Peepeeens and the main foid does neurodivergent quircky shit on her cooking show like referring to salt as sodium chloride or vinagre as acetic acid. She apparently also angrily tosses a food can into the trash because "it's filled with chemicals", lol sounds like TBBT level dialogue.

There's a part where she joins the rowing team and is instantly the best rower because she read a physics textbook about how rowing works. If only those other rowers understood the principle of leverage, instead of wasting their time bulking up in the gym.

not r-slurred housewife (single) being good at cooking is believable. she's not a professional chef she does a show for other housewives

Being good at home cooking is one thing, becoming Julia Child because you know chemistry is another. And going by that example even though Julia Child's show was directed at housewives she still graduated from a culinary school in France and the point of those shows was to teach housewives to cook more refined meals.

I believe doing a regular show means either already knowing your shit on every topic (like Julia Child) or having the time and resources to prepare a dish a dozen times. Or as in this case being gods gift to cookery.
As an aside: chemistry as in synthesis does not transfer to cooking much. It does however to baking. Therefore this author has no idea how chemistry works in practice and neither do all these media people liking this book.

prepare a dish dozens of times who even does that

Like when you want the crust to be crisp and the center juicy. You will need certain times at certain temps. In the oven or in the pan? Plus when the acids? That's a dozen fish right there.
If you want a good example take Alton Brown. He does the stuff.

Oh I thought it was going to be about chemistry.
The only chemistry book I read outside of college was The Anarchist Cookbook that I bought at a cool butt retail called Spy Headquarters which probably doesn't exist anymore. You'd be an r-slur to visit there as an adult but when you're a young and impressionable child who just got his license, I loved going there and the military surplus stores. They'll let children buy literally anything at those places.

Yeeeahhhh gasoline and styrofoam! I made a huge jar of it in my dad's tool shed and brought it to scout camp. Turns out I saved the day because it snowed and I was able to get the wet wood to light.
I guess the real recipe is diesel with Palmitic acid (literally palm oil) and naphthenic acid, harder to get.
You could probably get away with just the Palmitic acid to thicken it enough without spending too much.

I've seen a few episodes of the show, it's a bog standard girls rule boys drool type of show. Every single man is either incompetent or outright evil, aside from the dude who dies and the black father, and she is just a total anachronistic character espousing a feminist worldview that wouldn't even really exist until the 70s at the earliest
The absolute worst thing about the show though is that my girlfriend thought it was somehow based on a real person and not total fiction lmao

The first time I started to realize someone I knew (woman) was completely full of shit was when she told me about this amazing book about this historical woman who I had already thought was interesting. She raved on and on, and said it was all about this woman and from her letters, made it sound really interesting.
I finally picked it up. 10,000% narrative fiction and thin as a magazine. Bright pink, clearly labelled fiction with a forward from the author that basically admitted she barely read anything about the person and just put together what she imagined this person's life was like from the factoids everybody knew and some girl power. And it was awfully written, about someone who was allegedly pretty clever and acerbic, the dialogue was like an 8th grader wrote it. Had been hearing about this book for a year and a half.
