What this prompt does

Tips for this prompt

Describe the dish, the angle (overhead or 45-degree), and the surface or props so the styling fits your brand.
45-degree suits tall, layered dishes; overhead suits flat plates and spreads. Pick to match your food.
Keep "no plastic-looking food, no harsh flash" so it stays natural. Nudge --stylize down if the plating gets too fancy.
