Assuming that the food itself is kosher, you would have to serve the food on kosher dishes using kosher utensils. If you don't have a kosher kitchen, using plastic and paper is usually fine. To be safe, cover the table the food is sitting on with a sheet of paper or plastic.
If you're asking how to prepare kosher food, that is more complicated. You would have to have access to a kosher kitchen as any contact with non-kosher utensils (this includes ovens, microwaves, counters, tables, etc), would render kosher ingredients non-kosher.
The basic rules to follow are:
- Any meat or poultry has to be certified kosher.
- Fish has to be from a kosher species, skin on. If the packaging the fish is in has kosher certification, it doesn't have to have the skin.
- Meat and dairy cannot be combined in any way, poultry qualifies as meat in this case. Even products that contain dairy byproducts (whey, etc) cannot be combined with meat.
- Fish and meat cannot be served on the same dish or at the same time.
- In North America, milk is considered acceptable by most groups. Some groups do require kosher certification for milk. Almost all require kosher certification for dairy products (cheese, etc). There is a higher level of certification for dairy products called Chalav Yisroel.
- Any processed ingredient must have kosher certification.
- Some groups do not eat certain vegetables because it's too difficult to clean them of all bugs and dirt (broccoli, cauliflower, romaine lettuce, asparagus, etc).
- Some groups require that a Jew is involved in the food preparation process of cooked food in some way, even turning on the stove/oven qualifies.
Depending on what's being served and where, some people require supervision by a mashgiach. A mashgiach is a religiously observant Jew who is well versed in the laws of kashrut.
To do kosher catering, you have to make sure that you are marketing to the right audience. Once you find your audience, you need to start researching where to find kosher foods. Most stores carry them, but buying from a bulk warehouse will find you the best prices.
