cottage industry

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

'home-based enterprise' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'cook to study catering' is the wordplay.
'cook' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'study'+'catering'='tostudycatering'
'tostudycatering' with letters rearranged gives 'COTTAGE INDUSTRY'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cottage industry that I've seen before include "homework" , "small-scale business" , "Small business" , "country practice" , "Working from home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
