how to photograph food (yummmmm)

It's hard to believe the holiday season is almost upon us. You know deep down in your heart that it's a little over the top that stores like Target have their Christmas displays already out, and it's not even Halloween yet. Come on, admit it. The other day when I was shopping at Target a blind guy - seriously, a blind guy - turned and said to me "Christmas stuff out already?" That's how bad it is at my local Target.

But man, do I love holiday food. I used to hate stuffing until a friend of mine gave me an outrageous recipe to make one Thanksgiving - now, I would eat an entire casserole dish full if I could. But when it comes time to document my cooking or the holiday meals we've enjoyed over the years, my photos are always kind of blah.
