Meaning
This reads as a memory about transformation, not just taste. The dish is appealing because it becomes something richer after a second round of heat, and the note can be taken to mean that leftovers, family habits, and patience can produce a better result than the first serving. It lands in a kitchen the day after a meal, when familiar food becomes unexpectedly special.
