Answer
Wa `alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
As a Muslim, you are not allowed to eat or serve unlawful (haram) food such as pork. You can substitute it with any other halal material till you tell your family about your conversion.
In his response to the question, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, Former President of the Fiqh Council of North America, states:
I am pleased to know that you accepted Islam and you are trying to live by its teachings. May Allah bless you and make it easy for you.
Whatever is haram for a Muslim to eat is also haram for him/her to serve to others. You should not cook this dish with pork. Try to make it with beef or chicken, etc.
If your family does not like it, they will not ask you next time to make it. If you feel that you should not reveal your Muslim identity to them at this time, you can tell them that you do not like pork anymore.
It is not good for any human being to consume pork, which is harmful to all people, Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Allah Almighty knows best.
