I believe the answer is:

satyr

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

'a man with large appetite?' is the definition.
(satyr can mean a man with a large sexual appetite)

'malay food recipe' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'food' could be 'a' (A is an example) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'recipe' could be 'r' (abbreviation in medical prescriptions) and 'r' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sty' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'leaving' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satyr that I've seen before include "nymphalid" , "Dirty old man" , "lecher" , "Goat-like woodland deity of Greek mythology" , "Lustful Greek woodland god" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
