Cook and sew (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baste

I believe this is a double definition.

'cook' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'sew' is the second definition.
(basting is a kind of sewing)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for baste that I've seen before include "Keep moist" , "Pour liquid over while cooking" , "Drizzle with fat" , "Abets (anag.)" , "Moisten roasting meat with melted fat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
