Going to pieces on getting into cooking (8)
I believe the answer is:
entering
'going' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'pieces on getting into cooking' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'into' could be 'in' and 'in' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entering that I've seen before include "Going inside" , "Starting" , "Going/coming in" , "Coming in" .)
