For Lydia Pang, it embodies the struggles of her Hakka ancestors, a persecuted Chinese ethnic group whose ingenuity shaped a food culture rooted in fermenting and foraging. Pang reimagines eating bitter as a philosophy to confront her own challenges: burning out, testing her marriage, navigating fertility struggles and caring for a parent. Through eight recipes, she shares food as memory and medicine: the silly egg noodles her father cooked when her sister was ill, the bone broth she boiled in New York while homesick and courgettes grown in rural Wales as a gesture of reconnection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lydia Pang","offers":[{"title":"288 pages \/ 14\/05\/2026 \/ Memoirs","offer_id":57110574104951,"sku":"9781784746308","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781784746308_6e06e897-e1c5-4ffb-af5f-0b1ad33c809b.jpg?v=1780998224","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781784746308","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
