Crossword Genius

Desire in boy to see galley (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kitchen

'galley' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'desire in boy' is the wordplay.
'desire' becomes 'itch' (itch is a kind of desire).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'boy' becomes 'ken' (**).
'itch' put inside 'ken' is 'KITCHEN'.

'to see' is the link.

(Other definitions for kitchen that I've seen before include "Room with cooking facilities" , "where food is a concern" , "Cookhouse" , "In workplace" , "food prepared here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
