Hunger when in range of where food is made (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kitchen

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

'where food is made' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'hunger when in range' is the wordplay.
'hunger' becomes 'itch' (I've seen this in other clues).
'when in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'range' becomes 'ken' (I've seen this before).
'itch' placed within 'ken' is 'KITCHEN'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kitchen that I've seen before include "part of house" , "Area for preparing meals" , "Place to prepare food" , "Place for cooking food" , "food preparation area" .)
