Ross

I believe the answer is:

ingredient

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

'what's needed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'dinner i get cooked?' is the wordplay.
'cooked?' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'dinner'+'i'+'get'='dinneriget'
'dinneriget' anagrammed gives 'INGREDIENT'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ingredient that I've seen before include "Component part" , "bit of meal?" , "One of the things" , "Component element" , "Constituent" .)
