Dangerous place for witches to make meals (5)

I believe the answer is:

salem

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

'dangerous place for witches' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'make meals' is the wordplay.
'make' is an anagram indicator.
'meals' with letters rearranged gives 'SALEM'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salem that I've seen before include "trial scene" , "US city" , "Witches' home" , "Massachusetts city associated with the execution of witches" , "Place with allegedly wicked females" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
