Basic yam/fig recipe produced, seemingly, out of nothing (2,2,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
as if by magic
'basic yamfig recipe produced seemingly out of nothing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'basic yamfig recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'basic'+'yamfig'='basicyamfig'
'basicyamfig' is an anagram of 'AS IF BY MAGIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
