Crossword Genius

Offering dinner, get cooking (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tendering

'offering' is the definition.
('tender' can be a synonym of 'offer')

'dinner get cooking' is the wordplay.
'cooking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dinner'+'get'='dinnerget'
'dinnerget' with letters rearranged gives 'TENDERING'.

(Another definition for tendering that I've seen is " Offering".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
