A beautiful and fearless exploration of food and feelings – with bite – for fans of Crying in H Mart and Midnight Chicken.

Eat 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.

‘Touching, absorbing and unflinching… shows you how to stomach life’s shit, celebrate the ugly, and keep going' Angela Hui

Nurturing and brave, her story inspires and her recipes warm.'

This is a deeply personal memoir that uses food as a vehicle to explore heritage, home, and family in the girl boss era. Each chapter is written with so much flavour and depth. I feel braver and prouder to have dual heritage upon reading this. It will make you want to call your mum.

Excellent and Brave

I loved this memoir! It's a tale of family, pain and resolve through the prism of food. It's a lesson for all of us on how to cope with the hardships of life - to taste and savour its bitterness and sweetness equally. Lydia writes beautifully, like the food she describes - sumptuous and tasty, but filled with guts and gristle. Highly recommended!

A brilliant book
