handbrake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sandwiches recipe? rolls will contain this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'give cook' is the wordplay.
'give' becomes 'hand' (synonyms).
'cook' becomes 'brake' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'hand'+'brake'='HANDBRAKE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for handbrake that I've seen before include "slower" , "It stops car" , "Manually operated device to hold vehicle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
