Verb "to offer" and "to share" for food


I was wondering what is a suitable verb for "to offer" and "to share" food.

I know that "to offer" has been answered
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/25304/to-offer-in-
japanese)

However, according to jisho, 勧める = to offer (wine)​,

so I'm not sure, if it is just for drink or any food wiil do?

For example, if I wanna write down that "I offered a cake to X" so

> ケーキをXと **勧め** た。

* * *

Similar for "to share", I'm not sure [which
one](http://jisho.org/search/%22share%22) is the best to be used with food.

For example,

> I shared a cake with X = ケーキをXと **分け合** った。

Is this ok?




> if it is just for drink or any food wiil do?

Yes. But 勧める basically means "to recommend (sth)." "To offer" can be
translated into Japanese in various ways depending on the context, so more
context is needed. Anyway, I think in many food-serving-context just 出す is
sufficient if it's not a some kind of special offering to be accepted. e.g.
パーティーでは様々な珍しい食事が私達に出された。

> I shared a cake with X = ケーキをXと分け合った。

It's OK. You can also just say 分けた。
