The first issue of Lucky peaches was large on Ramen noodles. In the second issue, the theme is 'The Sweet Spot'.
'The Ripeness and the rot' moves from a vegetable's freshness situation to a chef's most creative period which is generalised to all artists. Rebecca Rusch is an example of comeback in sports. This ties in with 'Perfect moment' of knowing the window of the best taste of an ingredient.

'Expired to perfection' is a look at refrigerator's contents and their status. 'Repurposing'.
I like the comic-satire of accepting the mistakes in their recipes. The comic of the experiences of an experimental cook speak to the uncertainity of the dish hanging over the head of the cook. It is literal when a sheet of pasta is hanging from the head of the cook, being churned out of the pasta machine.
There is a great history of Miso but when it read list of ingredients it became irrelevant like the many kinds of ramen in the first issue.
Not all of it is accessible. I dont get what they mean by 'high level cooking'. Never the less, you learn many things about cooking, not just techniques and ingredients but a broad look at cooking not just as a set of recipes or ingredients but also as an art both in execution and representation, its tradition and history.
