she says, of the culinary ode to her after-school snack

“The Marmite and the dripping soak into the burned toast,” she says, of the culinary ode to her after-school snack, “and when you pop the tartare into it, it elevates the flavour to another place.”

I found this sentence and I wonder how I can understand the phrase 'of the culinary ode to her after-school snack'. This kind of usage of 'of' is kinda new to me.

It's another way of saying "about".

Hello, emsr2d2. Thank you for your comment Then I wonder why 'of the culinary ode to her after-school snack' is between the commas.
