With some viands, she can make an imaginative meal (6)
I believe the answer is:
amelia
'with some viands she' is the definition.
'Amelia' can be an answer for 'she'. I'm not certain of the 'with some viands' bit.
'an imaginative meal' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'an' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'meal' is 'amel' which is located in the answer.
A single letter 'a' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'can make' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amelia that I've seen before include "famous pilot" , "Fielding heroine" , "-- Earhart, US aviation pioneer" , "-- Earhart, aviator" , "I, a male (anag) - a woman" .)
