I am not Jewish and have never made Kosher food before. Will Jewish people even feel comfortable eating in my home? What are the Kosher rules for eating out-can they eat food that wasn't prepared with dual sinks/stoves/etc?
Any great Kosher appetizer recipes would be welcome! Thank you!

Don't do anything that you wouldn't normally do.
Just please don't be offended if they don't eat in your house. It will be nothing personal.
By refusing to eat does not mean they think your kitchen is dirty.
I am Jewish and on the religious scale I probably score 5/10
Any Jewish friend that visits me who is 6/10 would not eat in my place.
These friends of yours will be coming round to see you - not eat you out of house and home.

Not very simple.
Besides needing kosher ingredients, kosher food must also have "kosher preparation". That includes the utensils used and who does the cooking.
For example, metal utentsils must be brought to a mikvah. That is just one simple example.
In short, I have no idea if it can be done, and if it can, it isn't a simple process.
I recommend getting kosher take-out. (And serve it with plastic utensils on paper plates). Can't go wrong with disposable.
cheerio

According to strick old world laws NO
If at anytime in the life of your kitchen, you have prepared pork, or other various no no's, your kitchen is off limits for any kind of Kosher preparation.
If you have Jewish guests coming for a party, they are either very liberal on Kosher laws, or they will not eat at all.

Takeout from a kosher store would be best, since your pots are full of non-kosher taste, which will be put into the food. If you cook something, they still can't eat it, since we can't eat something cooked by a non-Jew. If you reheat something in two layers of covering, then the outer one isn't kosher, but the inner one is, and the food is OK. Also, you can't use regular dishes, you'll have to use paper to serve it. Or just tell them to bring their own food.

If they are coming at your invitation, then they know that there is non-kosher food being served. They either have to bite the bullet and eat it, or they bring their own food, or don't eat!

Sorry, a non-Jew can't make kosher food. Kosher food has to be made with specific rules, that's true, but it also has to be made by or watched by a Jew to ensure that the rules are being kept. Jews can't just accept the word of a non-Jew that food is kosher.

you cant make kosher food...you can order take out or , but you have to serve on paper or plastic plates. if they r kosher jews, they'll know these laws, so dont worry about aciidently giving them non kosher. just tell them exactly how you made\got it, and they'll tell you if they can eat it.
I think its really admirable that you cared enough to ask!

Wow! I've no clue!! Thumbs up on the Question... and I put it on my watch list!...
You might try a caterer or a shop that sells Kosher foods... and ask the manager.

You'll have to hire a rabbi to certify the food is kosher.
