Cook hailed buns and cheese (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
danish blue
'cheese' is the definition.
(Danish blue is an example)
'cook hailed buns' is the wordplay.
'cook' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hailed'+'buns'='hailedbuns'
'hailedbuns' is an anagram of 'DANISH BLUE'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for danish blue that I've seen before include "possibly crackers with it" , "served up on board?" .)
