Trick woman into cooking for stars (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

constellation

'stars' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'trick woman into cooking' is the wordplay.
'trick' becomes 'con' (I've seen this before).
'woman' becomes 'stella' (**).
'cooking' indicates an anagram.
'into' anagrammed gives 'tion'.
'con'+'stella'+'tion'='CONSTELLATION'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for constellation that I've seen before include "Twins, perhaps" , "Cassiopeia, for example" , "E.g Orion, Andromeda" , "Client to salon (anag.)" , "Group of stars" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
