Answer
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
It is permissible to eat after having sexual intercourse (for males and females) without making Ghusl on condition that the hands and mouth is washed, otherwise it will be Makrūh.
There is also no harm for ones wife to cook or serve the food in the states of janābah (i.e. without having made ghusl); in this case she will be as a Hāidha (one having monthly menses).
(Hindiya, pg337 vol.5 Maktaba Rashidiya)
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
