Encourages man to make dish (4,8)
I believe the answer is:
eggs benedict
'dish' is the definition.
(eggs Benedict is a kind of dish)
'encourages man' is the wordplay.
'encourages' becomes 'eggs'.
'man' becomes 'benedict' ().
'eggs'+'benedict'='EGGS BENEDICT'
'to make' is the link.
(Other definitions for eggs benedict that I've seen before include "Dish served on toast" , "Dish topped with hollandaise sauce" , "Dish with ham on toast" , "snack" , "food" .)
