Crossword Genius

Doctor’s approach, reminded beans are cooked (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedside manner

'doctor's approach' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'reminded beans are cooked' is the wordplay.
'are cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'reminded'+'beans'='remindedbeans'
'remindedbeans' with letters rearranged gives 'BEDSIDE MANNER'.

(Other definitions for bedside manner that I've seen before include "Doctor's approach or attitude to a patient" , "9 bearing" , "Doctor's people skills?" , "Reassuring trait of doctor" , "Doctor's personal quality?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
