15d - Call Liza with this to cook big
answer is recipe but can anyone explain please

Scots for call is CA (see Chambers)

An anagram (cook) of (CA LIZA RECIPE)* gives CAPERCAILZIE, a large grouse

Best I can come up with!

That’s genius, Jono. Chapeau!

Well done Jono - I thought a large grouse was a drink!

I would never have got that one! Can anyone explain 23ac for me?

Sign for 11 numbers (7) (the answer for 11 being “stag”)

I have ENDORSE which fits “sign” but I can’t see he rest.

I must be losing the plot!
I thought the answer to 15d was recipe (and this is given on other sites).
No wonder I couldn't see it.

Used to do the wee stinker years ago , quite often a real struggle. Never did win the T shirt.

Anyway I assume 23a is an anagram of nos (numbers) and deer (stag).

The actual clue to 15d) is
Call Liza with this to cook big ... (6)

16d) ... carp (6) and the answer is grouse which helps to confirm Jono's solution.

Ah, thanks Stevie G, it makes more sense now.

People needing help should give the full clue and all relevant information - including ... connections to the following clue.
