Peaches and crème fraîche top a lovely cake.
I like shooting dishes with available light to preserve the shades of white -- notice the distinction between the white plate and the crème fraîche. There's also enough light to make the reds of the peaches and yellow of the polenta pop. It looks good enough to eat.

Web Ecoist used this in their article on 20 Vegan meal recipes that don't suck.
This is a nice photo of scrambled egg whites. Usually breakfast doesn't look too great without a decent amount of caffeine and incredible plating, but I liked the way this turned out.

The house salad tasted as good as it looked!
I like the mirrored effect in this photo. It's actually two bowls of house salad, but the depth of field was set very shallow to render the second bowl softly out-of-focus, referred to as bokeh. It makes the bowl in the foreground pop. I don't normally like shooting bowls of food, but the placement of bowls at an angle creates visual interest.
