Is home cooking on the brink of vanishing? Yes, trends suggest it's fading fast. In the US, 57% of food budgets now go to away-from-home meals—a record high, up from 53% in 2019—fueled by delivery apps, busy schedules, and economic pressures. From 1965 to 2007, home-prepared meals dropped from 88-95% to 65-72% of diets, with time spent cooking shrinking further. Millennials and Gen Z prioritize convenience, viewing takeout as essential. Yet, 93% of households vow to cook more in 2025-2026 for savings and mental health. To revive it: embrace simple recipes, meal kits, and family rituals. Don't let it disappear—your kitchen awaits.
