Let the food go cold. Steam's a pain, esp. if you want top-down shots.
Photography styles can change a lot between restaurants (think in particular about the rustic fashion that is in now, against the very clean and simple look some more traditional places have). Find out what the client wants, and copy it. Cookbooks can really show the different techniques.

Table top food photography - any tips? We're planning some for a client in January and will be hiring a photographer - hopefully a former forumite as it happens - but in the meantime we're doing a test this week in-house. Shooting tests of fast food. Any good resources for research on practicalities (lighting/backdrops/common issues etc).
