Thin plate for meal? All cooked? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lamella

'thin plate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'meal? all cooked?' is the wordplay.
'cooked?' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'meal'+'all'='mealall'
'mealall' anagrammed gives 'LAMELLA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for lamella that I've seen is " Thin plate".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
