'Chemistry Lessons', by Bonnie Garmus, is a gastronomic novel where gastronomy is barely talked about. The plot would not make sense if it did not take place in a kitchen converted into a laboratory.

The novel flows harmoniously at times making us smile, with that humor of brilliant and cultured characters, who do not correspond to the world of the living. The film respects the narrative structure of the book, removes a good dose of feminism (which is constant and necessary in the novel)
