My last one! parsing help please

This is an undefined clue, but is thematic. My answer fits the theme, so it is only the clue (the wordplay) that I need

2d Cook took nothing from the cellar? (6)

answer DOODAH (I have ?O?D?H)and I am sure these are correct!

Cook could be "do" but where does the cellar fit?

Thankyou

16a.... Maybe something  to do with Jagger. Is it an undefined one?

24 Uffizi. museum. Uzi is the gun, there's an F for fine, I think, and If, whenever, is reversed (backing).
