Specific recipes in a mess (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

precise

'specific' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'recipes in a mess' is the wordplay.
'in a mess' indicates an anagram.
'recipes' with letters rearranged gives 'PRECISE'.

(Other definitions for precise that I've seen before include "'Exact, accurate (7)'" , "Highly accurate and sharply exact" , "Express" , "with accuracy" , "Recipes (anag.)" .)
