LET SOUP BONES NOURISH YOU ✨ From EAT BITTER 吃苦 “Endure pain to taste sweetness.” A dream of a collaboration with @lydia_pang_ ; spanning time zones and generations 🐉 Images from our zine: A collection of short stories told through recipes that are not for the faint hearted. Because it’s time for everyone to know what Hakka tastes like. “THIS SOUP IS SALTY AND WARM, SERVED IN A RICE BOWL WITH A PIECE OF FOLDED KITCHEN TOWEL NEXT TO IT. THE BONES AND HOMEGROWN GOJI BERRIES FLOATING IN CLOUDY LIQUID BENEATH THE GREASY SURFACE OF SALTY SOY. MY PAWPAW WOULD ALWAYS HAVE A BIG POT OF THIS SOUP BUBBLING ON THE STOVE. WALKING THROUGH THE DOOR YOU COULD SMELL THE WARM STEAM MIXED WITH MEDICINAL TIGER BALM. THIS SOUP IS COMFORT. HUMBLE IN APPEARANCE BUT DECEIVINGLY COMPLEX IN TASTE.” Images made w/ @lydia_pang_ @vavaberry @alexanderbreeze @kim_songsoo @sam.peter.reeves 🖤 . . . #louisehagger #eatbitter #AmericanPhotography37 #ap37 #photography #patbatesandassociates #foodphotography #womeninphotography #foodart #recipes #foodstagram #awardwinning #shetakesover #artphotography #eatbitterzine #stilllifephotography #hakka #chineseculture #inspiration #collaboration @wyatt_clarke_jones @patbates_associates @assocphoto @f22aop @equallens @she.takes.over @american_photography_winners @bjp1854 #food #foodie #instafood #igfood #instagood #instadaily #eeeeeats #soup #bonebroth #nourish https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6bNFKIbLe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#EATBITTER @lydia_pang_ @ripostemagazine 💥💥 “FOR US, FOOD IS LANGUAGE. A BOWL OF SOUPY BONES SMILES “HELLO”; A PORKY “GOODIE” THROWN INTO YOUR RICE BOWL SAYS “I’M PROUD OF YOU”; AND A HAND PEELED PRAWN, WELL, IN MY FAMILY THAT PERSON SAID I LOVE YOU. LOVE FROM MY GRANDPARENTS WASN’T THE CROCHET ICED BUN TYPE, IT WAS SLICED FRUIT ON A TOOTHPICK. OUR LOVE IS SMELLY, PUNGENT, FILLING. LIKE HAKKA CUISINE, IT’S TEXTURED AND EARNED.” Eat Bitter is about my family, my memories, it’s my bones. It’s about me trying to be less controlling and self-loathing about my output, to be kinder to myself about my creative process, and to not hide behind anyone else. … So right now, I’m revelling in the bitter pain and sweet joy of how exposing this personal project has been. And collaborating with kindred like talented photographer @louisehagger to bring to life the imagery, art directing from America while she’s shooting in London, has only aided my therapy. More than ever, and perhaps, for the first time truly, I consider it a great honour to have Hakka running through my veins and Eat Bitter is an ode to and celebration of the badass spirit of my family’s heritage, The Pangs. Told through childhood memories of Pawpaw’s traditional steam cake and my Dad’s newly reimagined crispy duck, these recipes are not quick, and they are not convenient. They’re humble and pungent, deceivingly simple and yet cannot be rushed. They’re a lesson in Hakka values, patience and adaptability. You have to ‘Eat Bitter’, put the time in, before you can taste the sweetness. But in a world of fleeting, instant, disposable transience, there is a delicious hardship that comes with enduring a 3- day duck basting, a luxurious forced pause that comes with waking up early to soak rice. Thank you @lydia_pang_ @roowilliams & the magnificent team I had the joy of photographing the recipes with @vavaberry @alexanderbreeze @sam.peter.reeves @kim_songsoo. 🖤 A portion of the profits are being donated to @welcome.to.chinatown an initiative that supports Chinese businesses affected due to increased xenophobia in the wake of Covid19. 🧧LINK IN BIO🧧 . . . #lydiapang #louisehagger #selfpublished #foodphotography (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH7pQKSHPud/?igshid=1yhsxz311wg0
