Nick the crackers in chef's domain (7)

I believe the answer is:

kitchen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chef's domain' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'nick the crackers' is the wordplay.
'crackers' indicates an anagram (informal term for mad).
'nick'+'the'='nickthe'
'nickthe' is an anagram of 'KITCHEN'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kitchen that I've seen before include "Area for preparing meals" , "Room for food" , "Cooking area" , "Site of 4 [GAS OVEN]" , "where food is a concern" .)
