That woman cooks hot wraps, giving tip (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baksheesh

'tip' is the definition.
(Persian word for a tip or donation)

'that woman cooks hot wraps' is the wordplay.
'that woman' becomes 'she' (she refers to a woman).
'cooks' becomes 'bakes' (baking is a kind of cooking).
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'wraps' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters get wrapped up).
'bakes'+'h'='bakesh'
'she' inserted within 'bakesh' is 'BAKSHEESH'.

'giving' is the link.

(Other definitions for baksheesh that I've seen before include "Gratuity or tip in Middle East" , "Small amount given for services rendered" , "(Oriental) money given as a tip or alms" , "Gift of money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
