  if these are for say piscture on a menu..a soft-light box would be great..just slide in snap and move on to the next plate.

  for my food shots, i have a large softbox (alien bees 30"x60") that i use with white reflectors to open up the shadows. imo, food looks best with natural light, so i'm trying to imitate light coming through a window. to show the texture, i angle it from the side or back.
