The best meal I cooked is well reviewed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estimable

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

'well reviewed' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally define each other.

'the best meal i cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'best'+'meal'+'i'='bestmeali'
'bestmeali' with letters rearranged gives 'ESTIMABLE'.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for estimable that I've seen before include "Highly valued" , "Deserving respect" , "worthy of deep respect" , "respected" , "Worthy of great respect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
