Concerning the kitchen Lucy and I ran badly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

culinary

'concerning the kitchen' is the definition.
(culinary means relating to food or cooking)

'lucy and i ran badly' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'ran'='iran'
'lucy' after 'iran' is 'iranlucy'.
'iranlucy' with letters rearranged gives 'CULINARY'.

(Other definitions for culinary that I've seen before include "Relating to cooking" , "Relating to cookery" , "To do with or used in cooking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
