A great online resource that I would like to recommend for tricks of the "food photography trade" is the "Learn Food Photography" website. The tab titled "Food Styling" has a lot of useful information on how to stylize your shoot. Similar to how a photographer stylizes a model or portrait shoot, photographers also stylize food!
This website has many fantastic video tutorials about shooting, composition and lighting. This information can be found under the "Food Photography" tab. One of the more recent articles was written about how to start a food photography business.

One of my favorite articles on this site can actually be found under the "Lighting" tab, titled "Ten Simple Lighting Tips for Stunning Food Photos":
Be sure to check out the additional information listed on "www.LearnFOODPhotography.com"!
