Cook rises with traditional dish (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irish stew

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

'traditional dish' is the definition.
'Irish stew' can be an answer for 'dish' (Irish stew is an example). I am unsure of the 'traditional' bit.

'cook rises with' is the wordplay.
'cook' indicates an anagram.
'rises'+'with'='riseswith'
'riseswith' with letters rearranged gives 'IRISH STEW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for irish stew that I've seen before include "Mutton and vegetable dish" , "Dish of meat, onions, potatoes etc" , "National dish of potatoes, mutton and onions simmered in water" , "Fare" , "Traditional meat dish" .)
