you need off camera flash and gels diffusers softboxes etc and a tripod

dont worry about camera specs as long as it has at least 20mp and is aps-c/dx or full frame/fx it’ll look better than phone shots. what you really need is a flash shoe to use a flash radio trigger with.

with good controlled light you could use a bridge camera or a more advanced point&shoot and get good results

Yeah BUT at those sensor sizes and with those “quality” optics you could use continuous lighting and an android phone.

Adjust your cooking to optimise for appearance rather than palatability.

Have you seen those fake Tiktok cooking videos? Nobody cares if the recipe works or if it's even edible as long as it looks cool.

Window light works well on bright days, otherwise look into quality light arrangement. You want strong diffused light.

Props and arrangement are of even higher importance. Hit those second hand stores near you for former, and study still life for later.

I tried it once with window light, it was so dim that I had to expose this one for 10 minutes

Good lighting can easily be achieved with a cheap LED panel and putting a cam on a tripod. That's how I've gotten 99% of my food shots anyway. Natural light at the golden hour is pretty cool too

A bit too grainy innit? It looks decent enough if not peeping though.

Yeah you're right, shot at 1600 ISO, next time I make something I'll try a lower ISO and longer exposure

Just realized it's a bridge camera, not too bad for that sensor size to be fair.
When I do food photography I often reach for the f/2 crutch.

The single most important thing is correct white balance and diffused (or intentionally harsh) high CRI lighting.
White balance for the scene, like on a white plate THEN add food.
