Using this Windows 8 Lifestyle app
As you get to the main landing page of the app, all the options that the app gives you, would be shown to you at the same page itself. Let me get you some idea about the options the app will provide you with:
Videos
The Insights on Interest option that is given on the main page, will provide you with the videos that might be useful to you in Cooking. A good large number of videos are available here.
Now, the only limitation with this option of the app is that the videos are not played in the app itself. The app will make use of the Windows 8 IE app that is present by default on your Windows 8 System’s start screen. You can also add videos to your Favorite list. For that, select the video, and use the Favorite option that is available in the bottom flyout.
Find like minded people
You can find like minded people who share same interest as you (Cooking) by using the Twitter Chatter option that is next to the video option. As you get to this option, the Twitter handle of other people who share the interest of cooking would be shown.
If you select any user that are shown here, there Twitter handle would open up in the app itself.
You can follow the people using the app itself.
