Wow I struggled with this. Among the gaps:
9a Italian food writer’s unfortunately rejected (6).
Last letter ‘i’.
13a Learned person’s stumped about a vehicle (6).
First letter ‘s’.

13, s a van t.

9, salami.

Thanks Rusty, I guess stumped=st, a cricket thing I suppose.

Glad to help, StrangelyBrown!
Yes, I think st for stumped, too.
