Remember it isn’t necessary to have the best gear to take nice photos; but it certainly doesn’t hurt.

It’s a good read with helpful suggestions, a list of the gear she uses and and a reasonably comprehensive set of links to other sources for advice on food photography. I think she sums up the requirements for good photos with the following:

… the only thing that will ever make a difference in the consistent quality of your photos is practice. You can’t learn it from a blog post, a book, a manual, it doesn’t come embedded in pricy [sic] prosumer technology — you simply need to take pictures of every single thing that you see.

The same is, of course, true for cooking, writing, programming, etc.

I also recommend checking out the smitten kitchen flickr stream for a constant dose of mouth-watering pictures.
