Great post. Thank you. I can't wait to try out the cotton ball steam trick. I've gotten into food photography recently. Having fun with it. I have a couple photos posted. Nothing great. Here is my favorite.

They touched briefly on it in the linked article but if you look at a lot of food photos, they are almost always lit from the rear off to one side. The light is usually slightly higher than the food but low enough that it creates texture as it "rakes" across the food. Use a mirror or white card opposite the light in front to bring up the shadows a bit. I'm still experimenting too.
