Gourmet pie somehow provided remedy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epicure

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

'gourmet' is the definition.
(I know that gourmet can be written as epicure)

'pie somehow provided remedy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'pie' is 'epi' which is located in the answer.
'remedy' could be 'cure' (synonyms) and 'cure' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for epicure that I've seen before include "One enjoying good food and drink" , "Gourmet" , "Person with fastidious tase in food and wine" , "Choosy eater" , "Lover of fine foods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
