{"product_id":"eat-bitter-lydia-pang-9781784746308","title":"Eat Bitter","description":"A beautiful and fearless exploration of food and feelings – with bite – for fans of Crying in H Mart and Midnight Chicken.   ‘Touching, absorbing and unflinching… shows you how to stomach life’s shit, celebrate the ugly, and keep going' Angela HuiEat 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.   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.","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51610104037664,"sku":"9781784746308","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781784746308_2462694.jpg?v=1778739785","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/eat-bitter-lydia-pang-9781784746308","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
