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":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47793375281310,"sku":"UBD-9781784746315","price":36.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781784746315.jpg?v=1780915765","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781784746315","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
