Love apple turnover from Yotam Ottolenghi? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tomato

'love apple' is the definition.
('tomato' can be a synonym of 'love apple')

'turnover from yotam ottolenghi?' is the wordplay.
'turnover' says the letters should be written backwards.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'otamot' can be found hidden inside 'yotam ottolenghi'.
'otamot' backwards is 'TOMATO'.

(Other definitions for tomato that I've seen before include "Fruit-vegetable" , "Red fruit eaten as veg" , "Part of a BLT sandwich" , "Love apple (or "beef" fruit?)" , "A motto turned out to be fruit or veg" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
