Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from outside the country says: Is it permissible to cook food for non-Muslim parents?

Answer:
Serve your parents, even if they are disbelievers; serve them and be dutiful to them.
but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Meوَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّ
[Luqman 31:15]
They have the right to be treated with dutifulness, even if they are disbelievers. The right to dutifulness is upon you, and you must be kind to them.
