Wrap we hasten to cook (8)
I believe the answer is:
enswathe
'wrap' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'we hasten to cook' is the wordplay.
'to cook' is an anagram indicator.
'we'+'hasten'='wehasten'
'wehasten' is an anagram of 'ENSWATHE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enswathe that I've seen before include "Wrap around" , "Wound" , "Cover" .)
