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 \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPRODUCT DETAILS : \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eISBN : 9781784746315 \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eBY (AUTHOR) Pang, Lydia \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePUBLISHER : Vintage Publishing  \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003ePUBLICATION DATE : May 14, 2026 \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCOUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United Kingdom \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eIMPRINT : Chatto \u0026amp; Windus \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLANGUAGE : English \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eAGE : General \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePRODUCT FORM : Paperback \/ softback \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n    DIMENSION : 216 mm x 135 mm \u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT : 600 g \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT CATEGORY :\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Biography-Literature-Literary-studies\"\u003eBiography, Literature \u0026amp; Literary studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Lifestyle-Hobbies-Leisure\"\u003eLifestyle, Hobbies \u0026amp; Leisure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Society-Social-Sciences\"\u003eSociety \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pang, Lydia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49826258977045,"sku":"9781784746315","price":238.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/7087\/3174\/files\/Eat_Bitter_A_Story_About_Guts_and_Food_9781784746315.jpg?v=1774412554","url":"https:\/\/bookazine.com.hk\/products\/eat-bitter-a-story-about-guts-and-food","provider":"Bookazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
