Crossword Genius

... for each dish eaten by expert (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apiece

'for each' is the definition.
('apiece' can be a synonym of 'each')

'dish eaten by expert' is the wordplay.
'dish' becomes 'pie' (I've seen this before).
'eaten by' indicates putting letters inside.
'expert' becomes 'ace' (ace is a kind of expert).
'pie' inserted inside 'ace' is 'APIECE'.

(Other definitions for apiece that I've seen before include "for everyone" , "Per person" , "A head" , "For or by each one of group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
