Cooks stocks along with recipe for famous courses (2,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

st andrews

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

'famous courses' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'cooks stocks along with recipe' is the wordplay.
'cooks' becomes 'stews' (stewing is a kind of cooking).
'stocks' indicates putting letters inside (stocks can mean carries or contains).
'along with' becomes 'and' (I've seen this in another clue).
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation in medical prescriptions).
'and'+'r'='andr'
'stews' going around 'andr' is 'ST ANDREWS'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for st andrews that I've seen before include "Midlands ground" , "Here college" , "Famous golf course in Scotland, named after patron saint" , "links courses old and new" , "cross" .)
