Gourmet pie cooked with salt (7)
I believe the answer is:
epicure
'gourmet' is the definition.
(I know that gourmet can be written as epicure)
'pie cooked with salt' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'with salt' becomes 'cure' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pie' anagrammed gives 'epi'.
'epi'+'cure'='EPICURE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epicure that I've seen before include "Person with refined taste in food and drink" , "One enjoying fine food and drink" , "Lover of fine eating" , "Gourmet" , "Person with refined tastes in food and drink" .)
