Crossword Genius

Dress his Gran better (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garnish

'dress' is the definition.
(I know that dress can be written as garnish)

'his gran better' is the wordplay.
'better' indicates anagramming the letters (with an improved letter-order).
'his'+'gran'='hisgran'
'hisgran' anagrammed gives 'GARNISH'.

(Other definitions for garnish that I've seen before include "Sharing (anag) - dress" , "Decorate food for table" , "Decorate with herbs" , "Embellish food" , "Decorate, embellish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
