Increases given to born cooks (7)

I believe the answer is:

braises

'cooks' is the definition.
(braising is a kind of cooking)

'increases given to born' is the wordplay.
'increases' becomes 'raises' (raise is a kind of increase).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'born' becomes 'b'.
'raises' after 'b' is 'BRAISES'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
