Meat cooking in ovens (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venison

'meat' is the definition.
(venison is a kind of meat)

'cooking in ovens' is the wordplay.
'cooking' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'ovens'='inovens'
'inovens' anagrammed gives 'VENISON'.

(Other definitions for venison that I've seen before include "Deer meat" , "Meat - in ovens (anag)" , "Game" , "Type of meat" , "Deer (as food)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
