Successive letters daughter’s left for hotel’s cook (4)
I believe the answer is:
chef
'cook' is the definition.
(both can mean someone who cooks)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chef that I've seen before include "Key kitchen worker" , "Kitchen head" , "Professional cook" , "member of kitchen staff" , "one in the restaurant" .)
