Daddy Made Some Dinner
Dad’s cooking is a disaster—can the family turn his “special meal” into something edible?
Uh oh, it’s Dad’s turn to cook! He always mixes up the most interesting dishes. From sneezing at mysterious green herbs to suspicious meatballs and sweet chilli surprises, dinner quickly becomes a kitchen catastrophe.
But with a little creativity (and a lot of tomato sauce), the family finds a way to fix the flavour and save the day. A laugh-out-loud tale of food, family, and finding the funny side when things go hilariously wrong.
Perfect for picky eaters, cheeky kids, and anyone who’s ever survived a meal made with love—but not much skill!
Daddy Made Some Dinner by Clare Stacey captures the chaos and charm of a family meal gone awry, delivering the perfect blend of humour and heart.
