Done.

>シェフが腕によりをかけて作った料理というわりにはたいしたことない味だね。
>It doesn't taste all that great for all effort and technique the chef put into it.
>彼女が腕によりをかけてこの料理を作りました。
>She used all her skills making this dish.

I agree it's useful.

>- it's in dictionaries (腕に縒りをかける in 広辞苑 and 大辞林 but

>に縒(よ)りをかけて料理する as an example for 腕.

>腕によりをかけて 41,200
>腕によりをかける 544
>腕に縒りをかけて 743
>腕に縒りをかける 18
