No, no, my dearest! The best kept secret in food photography is a more than 300€ tool called Aperture: I'm trying the 30 days free trial and it already changed my life after one hour... And for some option you don't even need to shoot in raw: it works even on jpgs!!!
You don't believe me?
Compare this picture to the one I've published last week! It's the same picture: I swear!
