Ah food porn tips! Here's a few.
Different angles help. Most people shoot from the top down and shoot just the center plate. Try shooting a whole setting. Here's a shot I did for an asian plate I was developing.
You can change the angle to a side shot and add action for more interest as in here.
Try to pick a background that compliments the food. (smoked corned beef in this one)
Add contrasting garnish. I think the mint leaf really pops this watermelon / basalmic appetizer.
Try to avoid the "cafeteria compartment plate" where the plate is divided into thirds of protein/veggies/starch. Layer your plate. Here the grilled swordfish is over the bed of red rice and the burrie blanc is drizzled over both the protein and veggies.
Try getting up close and on the same level as your dish
Take your camera out of program mode and try aperture priority. Narrow the depth of field so that just the subject is in focus.
