Team-leader, chef, explorer (7,4)
I believe the answer is:
captain cook
'explorer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'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" .)
