Writes his recipe for a meat dish (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
irish stew
'for a meat dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'writes his recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates an anagram.
'writes'+'his'='writeshis'
'writeshis' is an anagram of 'IRISH STEW'.
(Other definitions for irish stew that I've seen before include "casserole" , "Local dish of meat, potatoes and onions" , "Fare" , "Traditional meat dish" , "food" .)
