Crossword Genius

Doctor, chef or captain? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cook

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'doctor' is the first definition.
(both can mean to rig or manipulate)

'chef' is the second definition.
(both can mean someone who cooks)

'or' is a link.

'captain?' is the third definition.
(captain james cook)

(Other definitions for cook that I've seen before include "Kitchen worker" , "Capt. James --, explorer" , "Falsify - chef" , "spoil" , "Doctor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
