BBC Air recipe for health and cooking (6)

I believe the answer is:

bicarb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'health and cooking' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'bbc air recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bbc'+'air'='bbcair'
'bbcair' anagrammed gives 'BICARB'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bicarb that I've seen before include "Baking soda (colloq.)" , "Raising agent in baking (colloq.)" , "Digestive remedy (abbr)" , "It helps digestion" , "baking aid" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
