Manage somehow with just two cooks? (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
make do
'manage somehow' is the definition.
(to make do is to manage or cope)
'two cooks?' is the wordplay.
'two cooks?' can mean two replacements for 'cook'.
'cook' becomes 'make' (synonyms).
'cook' becomes 'do' (do can mean to cook).
'make'+'do'='MAKE-DO'
'with just' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
(Other definitions for make do that I've seen before include "Manage with something unsatisfactory" , "attend function" , "Manage (with inadequate means)" , "Manage with something not fully satisfactory" , "Makeshift, temporary" .)
