Daughter is wanting hot food (4)
I believe the answer is:
dish
'food' is the definition.
(dish is a kind of food)
'daughter is wanting hot' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'dis' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is wanting' says to put letters next to each other.
'hot' becomes 'h'.
'dis'+'h'='DISH'
(Other definitions for dish that I've seen before include "Sky can be seen through this" , "Gorgeous person - plate" , "Plate and what's served on it" , "broth?" , "Person who's smashing" .)
