Email to cook books table (7)
I believe the answer is:
aliment
'table' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'email to cook books' is the wordplay.
'to cook' is an anagram indicator.
'books' becomes 'nt' (New Testament**).
'email' with letters rearranged gives 'alime'.
'alime'+'nt'='ALIMENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aliment that I've seen before include "Nourishment" , "Something which nourishes - meal tin (anag)" , "Sustenance" , "Old word for food" .)
