Calms with cooked sausages? (8)
I believe the answer is:
assuages
'calms' is the definition.
(I know this)
'cooked sausages?' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'sausages' with letters rearranged gives 'ASSUAGES'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for assuages that I've seen before include "Soothes with sausages" , "provides relief" , "Satisfies an appetite or desires" , "Makes something less severe, pain say" .)
