Turned up anxious for culinary courses (8)
I believe the answer is:
desserts
'culinary courses' is the definition.
'desserts' can be an answer for 'courses' (courses of meals). I'm not certain of the 'culinary' bit.
'turned up anxious' is the wordplay.
'turned up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'anxious' becomes 'stressed' (stressed can mean anxious or uneasy).
'stressed' back-to-front is 'DESSERTS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for desserts that I've seen before include "Last courses" , "Puddings" , "That may be cobblers" , "Final courses" , "Sweets" .)
