Divine food aromas I prepared with a pinch of basil (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambrosia

'divine food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'aromas i prepared with a pinch of basil' is the wordplay.
'prepared with' indicates an anagram.
'a pinch of' says to take the initial letters (just a pinch of the letter).
The initial letter of 'basil' is 'b'.
'aromas'+'i'='aromasi'
'aromasi' mixed up with 'b' gives 'AMBROSIA'.

(Other definitions for ambrosia that I've seen before include "Legendary food bringing immortality" , "Delicious food" , "Food and drink of gods" , "food from the deli?" , "I'm so Arab (anagram)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
