I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'cooks have made plain' is the wordplay.
'cooks' indicates an anagram.
'have'+'made'+'plain'='havemadeplain'
'havemadeplain' anagrammed gives 'VEAL-AND-HAM PIE'.

'that' is the link.
