Presenting chop recipe in retail area (8,6)

I believe the answer is:

shopping centre

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

'retail area' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'presenting chop recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates an anagram.
'presenting'+'chop'='presentingchop'
'presentingchop' with letters rearranged gives 'SHOPPING CENTRE'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shopping centre that I've seen before include "Marketing complex" , "Place with many retail outlets" , "mall" , "Where there are many stores" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
