Cook learns poise to cater for individual (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

personalise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cater for individual' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'cook learns poise' is the wordplay.
'cook' indicates an anagram.
'learns'+'poise'='learnspoise'
'learnspoise' anagrammed gives 'PERSONALISE'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for personalise that I've seen before include "Make one's own" , "Make specific to an individual" , "Customise" .)
