'food' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'daughter took zimmer frame to arawak' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'took zimmer' becomes 'hans' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'frame' suggests removing the centre (I've seen 'frame of' mean this (use the outside letters which frame the word)).
'arawak' with its middle taken out is 'ak'.
'd'+'hans'+'ak'='DHANSAK'

'making' acts as a link.
