{"product_id":"pang-lydia-eat-bitter","title":"Pang, Lydia - Eat Bitter","description":"‘Touching, absorbing and unflinching… shows you how to stomach life’s shit, celebrate the ugly, and keep going' Angela Hui\n\nEat bitter is a Chinese proverb meaning ‘endure hardship to taste sweetness.’ 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.\n\nEat Bitter is a beautiful and fearless exploration of food and feelings – with bite – for fans of Crying in H Mart, Butter and Midnight Chicken.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Book","offer_id":51089166041366,"sku":"RMX-64279","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/e231334e9fe08977bea27e305991839d.jpg?v=1773157811","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/pang-lydia-eat-bitter","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
