The invention claimed is: 1. A home appliance door, comprising: a base body and a front cover element, the base body and the front cover element cooperating to form a door handle recess, the door handle recess being delimited by the base body and the cover element, the base body including a closure element and a frame element, the frame element at least partly encompassing the closure element and extending over an entire length of said door handle recess and the frame element having a rear edge protrusion protruding away from the closure element, the rear edge protrusion defining a setback, said setback defining a depth of the door handle recess, a clamping element clamping the closure element to the frame element, the rear edge protrusion defining a holding section for holding the clamping element in position for clamping the closure to the frame element. 2. The home appliance door according to claim 1 , wherein the depth of the door handle recess is at least 10 mm. 3. The home appliance door according to claim 1 , wherein the door handle recess is hidden by the front cover element at least when viewed in a direction which is at least substantially perpendicular to a main extension plane of the base body. 4. The home appliance door according to claim 1 , wherein the front cover element is adjustable with respect to the base body. 5. The home appliance door according to claim 1 , wherein the frame element cooperates with the front cover element to form the door handle recess. 6. The home appliance door according to claim 1 , wherein the frame element is implemented at least partly of metal. 7. A home appliance door, comprising: a base body and a front cover element, the base body and the front cover element cooperating to form a door handle recess, the door handle recess being delimited by the base body and the cover element, the base body including a closure element and a frame element, the frame element being implemented as a hollow profile, the frame element at least partly encompassing the closure element and extending over an entire length of said door handle recess and the frame element having a protruding edge defining a setback, said setback defining a depth of the door handle recess. 8. The home appliance door according to claim 1 , wherein the frame element is implemented as a side cover element. 9. The home appliance door according to claim 7 , further comprising the frame element having at least one holding section for holding at least one adjusting element which is configured to adjust a position of the front cover element with respect to the base body. 10. A home appliance, comprising a housing which defines at least one storage space, and at least one home appliance door according to claim 1 , configured for closing the at least one storage space. 11. The home appliance door according to claim 1 , wherein the frame element having a further holding section for holding at least one adjusting element which is configured to adjust a position of the front cover element with respect to the base body, the further holding section is disposed on an opposite side of the frame element in a thickness direction of the appliance door. 12.
