אָסוּר לְבַשֵּׁל אוֹ לֶאֱפוֹת לְצֹרֶךְ אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי. אַךְ מִי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ מְשָׁרֵת אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי, יָכוֹל לְהוֹסִיף וּלְבַשֵּׁל בִּקְדֵרָה אַחַת, שֶׁיְהֵא בָּהּ גַּם בִּשְׁבִיל הַמְשָׁרֵת. אֲבָל בִּשְׁבִיל אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי מְכֻבָּד, אָסוּר אֲפִלּוּ לְהוֹסִיף. וְלֹא עוֹד, אֲלָּא אֲפִלּוּ אִם בִּשֵּׁל הַיִשְֹרָאֵל אוֹ אָפָה בִּשְׁבִיל עַצְמוֹ, אָסוּר לְהַזְמִין אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁיֹּאכַל עִמּוֹ. וְאַךְ אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁאֵינוֹ מִתְכַּבֵּד בּוֹ, מֻתָּר לָתֵת לוֹ אֵיזֶה דָּבָר מִמַּה שֶּׁבִּשֵּׁל אוֹ אָפָה. וְלֶאֱפוֹת פַּת אֲפִלּוּ בִּשְׁבִיל אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי מְשָׁרְתוֹ, אָסוּר.

It is forbidden to cook or bake for the needs of a non-Jew101See Biur Halachah 512:1. but if you have a non-Jewish servant, you are allowed to add food102It is permitted to add more to the pot at one time, but if your food was already in the pot, you may not add more for your servant. (Mishnah Berurah 512:12) and cook it in the same pot so that there should be enough for the servant too. But for a distinguished non-Jew, it is even forbidden to add (food).103The reason is in order to make sure that you do not cook specially for him. (see Shulchan Aruch 512:1) Moreover, even if you cooked or baked anything for yourself, you are forbidden to invite a non-Jew104If he dropped in uninvited, and the food is already prepared (Rashbah, Tur), you may also give him food. (Shulchan Aruch 512:1) Some poskim disagree. Shulchan Aruch Harav and Mishnah Berurah cite the Taz who rules that you may give him food, but not if you have to urge him to dine with you. to eat with you.105You are allowed to send food to his house if it is to promote peaceful relations. See Shulchan Aruch and Mishnah Berurah 512:8 (provided you do not violate laws of carrying). Chayei Adam 98:1–2 rules that even this is permitted only for food you prepared for your personal use, but not food added for him. You may not invite him to dine with you, even to prevent his hard feelings. (Biur Halachah, Rashbah) But if the non-Jew is an ordinary person, you may give him something of what you cooked or baked. Baking bread, even if for your non-Jewish servant, is forbidden.106For each bread is an extra bother. (Shulchan Aruch Harav) If necessary, you may be lenient and rely on the Reshal that more bread in the oven will improve your bread, too. (Mishnah Berurah 512:12)
