How to cook eggs, initially, at a terrible price? (6)
I believe the answer is:
recipe
'how to cook' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'eggs initially at a terrible price?' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a terrible' is an anagram indicator.
The initial letter of 'eggs' is 'e'.
'price' with letters rearranged gives 'recip'.
'e' after 'recip' is 'RECIPE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recipe that I've seen before include "Pierce (anag) - directions" , "Directions for food preparation" , "Cookery instructions" , "Kitchen instructions" , "Formula for food dish" .)
