Hi,
Please see:

BUCĂTÁR, bucătari, s.m. Bărbat care are meseria de a găti mâncare. – Bucată + suf. -ar.
I hope it’s okay, I put Romanian-Romanian as I’d be most interested to see if you can use the supine here: is it okay to say “de gătit mâncare” instead of “de a găti mâncare”, please?
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon

"de a găti mâncare" is correct
in English you would say "who's job is TO COOK (a găti) food" and not "who's job is FOR COOK (de gătit) food".
