Crossword Genius

His cooking, extremely cold (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shivery

'cold' is the definition.
('shivery' can be similar in meaning to 'cold')

'his cooking extremely' is the wordplay.
'cooking' is an anagram indicator.
'extremely' becomes 'very' (I've seen this before).
'his' is an anagram of 'shi'.
'shi'+'very'='SHIVERY'

(Another definition for shivery that I've seen is " Affected by cold".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
