Cooking that brings severe reprimand (8)
I believe the answer is:
roasting
This clue is a double definition.
'cooking' is the first definition.
(roasting is a kind of cooking)
'severe reprimand' is the second definition.
(roasting can mean strong criticism)
'that brings' is the link.
(Other definitions for roasting that I've seen before include "Severe reprimand (inf)" , "Lots of criticism" , "Very hot" , "Heating" , "Criticising" .)
