My partner has a blog that I often take pictures for of craft things she makes and fabrics an such. Now she wants to blog about her cooking I'm having real trouble taking appetizing shots of her food.

I've heard professionals often use fake food or spray the food with a glaze or varnish and all sorts of trickery. Does anyone have any handy tips for the amateur tog for photographing proper food that people will actually eat?! Lol.

Any help gratefully appreciated
