There are different options for bringing food to a shiva. The main consideration is if the family keeps kosher, to be safe, any food taken or sent to a shiva house should be kosher. In most communities that are large enough to support kosher restaurants and caterers, groups of people will coordinate all meals through one of these places to make sure that the family sitting shiva aren't eating the same foods for the whole seven days. Otherwise, friends and family will work together to bring food to the mourners for the shiva period.

What is the best homemade food to bring to a Shiva?
Keep in mind the kosher standards of the community. Can you cook to those standards? Also keep in mind the purpose of bringing food on a shiva visit. You will be feeding visitors, but your primary purpose is to feed the mourners during the week after the funeral. They may not feel like doing any cooking, and I've known people who really lost their interest in eating after their partners died. So, bring food that will last because it might not be consumed immediately, and bring food that is easy to snack on. I've seen brownies, lemon bars, lasagna, salads that don't contain lettuce (because lettuce wilts too quickly), veggies and dips, deviled eggs, and similar things.
