Lighting Tip
I am admittedly a 'rookie' when it comes to food photography. A quick search on google shows that this topic is not very common - and those who seem to do it well - tend to leave out the details.
I don't have a lot of equipment - especially for lighting. In order to get the lighting to look good I use a cookie sheet to 'bounce' light onto the food - instead of pointing the flash directly at the food. Creates a soft and warm lighting that seems to work well for lighting food. This may not be the fanciest or most accurate lighting technique but it works great in a pinch.

RE: Lighting Tip
here is a post that i found that is quite useful regarding cameras and lighting and things:

i have to say that if you can, definitely take food photos in natural light. and even a white sheet of paper helps a ton in bouncing light and reducing shadows. and if you use digital, always remember to white balance!

Natural Light
Even I have found that natural light is the best for food. But how do you bounce light by using a prop?
