Steak cooked for writer (5)
I believe the answer is:
keats
'writer' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'steak cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'steak' is an anagram of 'KEATS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for keats that I've seen before include "One of two born together" , "English poet, d. 1821 in Rome of TB" , "English poet, 1795-1821" , "English odist" , "Ode to Autumn poet" .)
