What tipsy chef has in mind (6)
I believe the answer is:
psyche
'mind' is the definition.
('psyche' can be a synonym of 'mind')
'what tipsy chef has' is the wordplay.
'has' indicates a hidden word.
'PSYCHE' is hidden in the letters of 'what tipsy chef'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for psyche that I've seen before include "Soul, spirit; lover of Cupid" , "The soul, spirit or mind" , "Eros's lover" , "A beautiful girl" , "The mind or Cupid's lover" .)
