I have an interest in this subject as I used to work for a cookbook publisher that did all its own photography in-house. We were really strict on having the food exactly resemble what the home cook would get from following the recipe, so the food stylists didn't resort to these kind of tricks except in very rare cases (e.g. fake ice cream when it would have to sit under the hot lights for awhile - I'm told it's a kind of dough.) Most of the photographed food was totally edible, as I can attest - I never had to pack a lunch on photography days!</p> Interesting video.
