Answer 1

In order to be kosher, food has to be prepared according to the kosher-laws.

* Meat must be from those land animals which have split hooves and chew their cud (such as beef and mutton)

* Fish have to have scales and fins. The kosher diet excludes shellfish.

* Birds cannot be amongst those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only poultry-species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as chicken and turkey.

* Animals must be slaughtered in the manner specified by Jewish law and must be free of all disease. In actual practice, those who keep kosher purchase meat which is certified as kosher.

* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done by the kosher butcher.

* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities.

* Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them.

Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant. Foods which are purchased should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing.

Answer 2

If you are preparing a restaurant, it is relatively easy to follow the rules listed in Answer 1 in terms of ingredients. However, the part that is most difficult is the preparation and handling. Meat and Dairy cannot be cooked in the same pots, pans or ovens (unless additional precautions are taken); the dishes must be kept separate and designated for meat or dairy; and care must be taken with wine that no non-Jew breaks the kosher seal.

In private homes, if you have a currently non-kosher kitchen, the easiest way to accommodate a kosher person is to buy a new dish for the oven so that it doesn't yet have meat or dairy status; and plastic plates, cups, and utensils for serving (for the same reason). When cooking the item in the oven, cover it in two layers of aluminum foil. The food will thus be sufficiently "protected" from the oven to prevent making it treif ("de-kosherization").
