Food (食べもの、食品) refers to anything that can be eaten, and gives the impression that you are referring to a specific type of food, like sushi or yakiniku.
Cuisine (料理、食文化) generally refers to food as a category from a certain culture, so Japanese food would include everything from teishoku to fried tofu.
In addition, cuisine has a more formal ring to it. However, it can be used in daily conversations.
Q: What would you like to have for dinner tonight?
A: Chinese cuisine / Chinese food (both become 中華料理)
Dishes (御菜) are the things like meat, vegetables, and soup that goes with the main dish - for example, rice or noodles in Asian cuisine.

Thank you for the detailed explanation, Yuucandoit-san! That makes a lot of sense! :)

More examples:
I like Chinese cuisine, but I don't like Szechuan food. Especially the dish Mapo Tofu - it is way too spicy for me.
I think that home-cooked food is the best. The food they serve outside is too salty for me.
I had 3 side dishes for dinner last night - steamed fish, stir-fry vegetables and lotus root soup.

One more thing: "Have you done the dishes?" means that the person (usually a mother) is asking whether you have washed the plates, bowls and utensils that you used for your meal at home.

Both "Japanese food" and "Japanese cuisine" are the same thing, but "Japanese cuisine" sounds more refined, while "Japanese food" sounds more casual.
If I tell my friend that I want to have Japanese food / Japanese cuisine for dinner, my friend will know that I am okay with anything Japanese.
Japanese dishes refer to specific items. If I say I want to have Japanese dishes for dinner (which is actually a little unnatural in English), my mother will probably ask, "Specifically, which dish do you want?"
