Team-leader, chef, explorer (7,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

captain cook

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

'explorer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'team-leader chef' is the wordplay.
'team leader' becomes 'captain' (I've seen this in another clue).
'chef' becomes 'cook' (both can mean someone who cooks).
'captain'+'cook'='CAPTAIN COOK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for captain cook that I've seen before include "18th century navigator and explorer" , "English explorer, killed in Hawaii" , "New Zealand's charter" .)
