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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePang 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":"Default Title","offer_id":43516626796605,"sku":null,"price":35.14,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/eat-bitter","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
