Do a meal in a trendy style? (7)
I believe the answer is:
alamode
'do a meal' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'in a trendy style?' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a trendy' becomes 'alae' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'style?' becomes 'mod' (I've seen this in another clue).
'alae' going around 'mod' is 'ALAMODE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for alamode that I've seen is " Fashionable".)
