Brown as pie in the cooking? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sepia
'brown' is the definition.
(I know that sepia is a type of brown)
'as pie in the cooking?' is the wordplay.
'as pie' anagrams to 'SEPIA'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sepia that I've seen before include "A greyish brown" , "Brown tone associated with old photographs" , "Colour of old photographs" , "Pigment obtained from cuttlefish ink" , "Reddish brown -- ie sap (anag)" .)
