"Very few people cook for each other. If it’s at home it’s often food delivered from a startup like caviar or for the wealthier hosts a private chef."
Really? I'm in the UK and even wealthy people try to put effort into actually cooking for their guests, even if it's something as simple as a roast thrown in the oven for an hour. I definitely always cook for my guests, unless we're in mood for pizza, then it's takeaway.
I've definitely noticed that about some American homes though - massive kitchens with huge gas ranges, and they all look completely brand new, unused - is it that people cook less in general?
