4 possibilites for this week's assignment.
Shoot your pictures in a bright space & try not to use flash
Take your time
First thing to say is that you can do this over a period of time and you can mix and match the 4 different elements
Think about the Light
A bright kitchen. Morning light is perfect. Try to use daylight if possible
Background & Angles
Professional food shots are often taken from above - looking straight down onto the plate
or bowl. If you shoot from above you don't have to clean the whole kitchen.
If you have a wooden table that's brilliant - if not use a clean table cloth.
Fill the frame. Zoom in to hide the background completely if you want to.
Review your pictures to make sure they are sharp.

Technique
Camera Program mode is fine in bright conditions (but be careful that the shutter speed doesn't drop dangerously low. ) If it's not so bright think about Shutter Priority (TV on Canon S on Nikon and most other camera systems )
and set a shutter speed of at least 1/100th sec.
Phone Users Remember to shoot Landscape as well as Portait. Use the volume buttons to shoot in Landscape. Clean your lens.
You can shoot anything foody you like. Breakfast, lunch or dinner at home, or even a meal out.
