Start eating, it's freshly made (9)
I believe the answer is:
instigate
'start' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'eating it's freshly made' is the wordplay.
'freshly made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eating'+'its'='eatingits'
'eatingits' with letters rearranged gives 'INSTIGATE'.
(Other definitions for instigate that I've seen before include "I taste gin to incite or urge" , "Set off or stir up" , "Bring about by incitement - its eating (anag)" , "Prompt" , "Urge on - teasing it (anag)" .)
