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.\n\nPang 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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991559024859,"sku":"9781784746308-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/90d8c632-ac34-442e-b0ff-9c26bae4a69f.jpg?v=1784507491","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781784746308-secondhand-eat-bitter-a-story-about-guts-and-food","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
