For Lydia Pang, it embodies the struggles of her Hakka ancestors, a Chinese ethnic group subjected to forced migrations whose ingenuity produced a distinct food culture based on 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComprising the satire and darkness of Netflix's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeef\u003c\/i\u003e, the tender insight of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrying in H Mart\u003c\/i\u003e, and the distinct magic of Ella Risbridger's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMidnight Chicken,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEat Bitter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a very special book from a brilliant new voice and creative talent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yu \u0026 Me Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49039125053669,"sku":"Lydia Pang June 2026","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/2581\/1941\/files\/9780063487130_3bdc7.jpg?v=1778779535","url":"https:\/\/yuandmebooks.com\/products\/9780063487130","provider":"Yu \u0026 Me Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
