Lighting advice for photographing food

Posted by ElissaLovesToEat, July 14, 2009

I've been taking more photos of my cooking lately for my new food blog a chef's daughter, but my photographs have been turning out kind of poor. Basically nothing like the beautiful things you'd see in Photograzing.

Part of the problem is the lighting in my kitchen. I'm in a small Manhattan galley kitchen that is lit by a large overhead fluorescent light. If I don't use flash, everything looks kind of gray. If I do use flash, everything comes out super bright. I'm using a point and shoot Casio Exilim 7.2 MP. I can't go buy a super fancy and expensive camera, so does anyone have any advice they can share with me to improve the quality of my photos?
