You should use words that are not 100% lie. If your father asked directly where this food is from, you can say that it is from the kitchen or pretend that you are upset as if he is hinting that your wife didn’t cook the food.

Is lying permissible in some cases,like a father is living with someone and the son having some financial problems,some weekends the son brings some food from outside which is not costly, for only to comfort his wife… …if he say truth to his father that food is from outside he knows that his father is angry on him that “you are wasting money” so he said to his wife that don’t say this is from outside and if she obey his husband may be Allah will not be happy with both of them.
