Crossword Genius

Professional in kitchen given revolutionary fine (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chef

'professional in kitchen' is the definition.

'revolutionary fine' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'che'+'f'='CHEF'

'given' is the link.

(Other definitions for chef that I've seen before include "Saucier" , "Key kitchen worker" , "Principal cook" , "Head cook in a restaurant" , "Hotel cook" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
