Clots in kitchens, cooking (8)
I believe the answer is:
thickens
'clots' is the definition.
'kitchens cooking' is the wordplay.
'cooking' indicates anagramming the letters (cook can mean to falsify or distort).
'kitchens' anagrammed gives 'THICKENS'.
'in' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
