Domestic had a mind to cook (8)
I believe the answer is:
handmaid
'domestic' is the definition.
(handmaid is a kind of domestic)
'had a mind to cook' is the wordplay.
'to cook' is an anagram indicator.
'had'+'a'+'mind'='hadamind'
'hadamind' is an anagram of 'HANDMAID'.
(Other definitions for handmaid that I've seen before include "Female servant" , "servant - with 2d" , "Female attendant" .)
