Clue List at
home about family (7)
You’ll be
getting good at this now, so I’ll just confirm the solution and how it’s made up – “incline” – that is
“list” in the sense of lean, “at home” = in, “about” = c and finally “line” =
family.
Clue Short
argument with the French about superior kitchen tool (7)
This is quite a
long clue for a 7 letter answer. The
answer is “spatula” which, of course, is a kitchen tool. “Short argument” = spat, the French = la (in
other clues sometimes le or les) and those two around “superior” = u. Ta da!
Clue Moisten,
while cooking, some lamb (a steak) (5)
Don’t forget to
ignore the punctuation. The answer is
“baste” = moisten while cooking. You
also find “baste” in the second part of the clue (it is typical that it is
between two words and around something like brackets). The pointer to it being found like that is
“some”.

I love cryptic crosswords! I always buy Games magazine especially for them. In fact, one X-mas I made up cryptic clues for the Secret Santa game we played at school.
