Clue Chain 3
Miser has kindly asked me to start Chain 3 so here goes ...
The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve. The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.
My clue: Lightly touch a seabird would indicate a design. (7)

Thanks Johnny - the word "Common" - it would have been redundant if it had been for a detergent etc. Therefore, it had to be a different use of "common"
Common cleaner led me to the Wombles and then obviously the chef/cook was Madame Cholet.
I then checked the anagram "homemade talc" for confirmation!
Right, good luck with this one
