Accurate recipes for cooking (7)
I believe the answer is:
precise
'accurate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'recipes for cooking' is the wordplay.
'for cooking' is an anagram indicator.
'recipes' with letters rearranged gives 'PRECISE'.
(Other definitions for precise that I've seen before include "Detailed, exact" , "Express" , "with accuracy" , "Exact like recipes" , "'Exact, accurate (7)'" .)
