'more seasonal' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are comparative adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'type of artiste' is the wordplay.
'type of' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'type' mean this).
'artiste' anagrammed gives 'TASTIER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tastier that I've seen before include "More flavoursome" , "Having a more pleasant flavour" , "More palatable" , "More appetising" , "More attractive" .)
