Starting to develop recipe in kitchen range (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shooting gallery

'range' is the definition.
(shooting gallery is a kind of range)

'starting to develop recipe in kitchen' is the wordplay.
'starting to develop' becomes 'shooting' (as in a plant shooting up).
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation in medical prescriptions).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'kitchen' becomes 'galley' (galley is a kind of kitchen).
'r' put into 'galley' is 'gallery'.
'shooting'+'gallery'='SHOOTING-GALLERY'

(Other definitions for shooting gallery that I've seen before include "where discharge follows training" , "targets here to aim at?" , "Where one may be on target" , "A fair range" , "drug-users here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
