Food & Drink Prompts
Food prompts with appetite appeal: cheese pulls, pouring liquids and melting fruit caught in warm, macro-close light.

How to Write a Prompt for a Food Video
Food video is about one small motion. Name what moves and how fast: "Steam rises in slow curls", or berries falling so that "each berry lands with a soft splash". Give the motion a cause, so something visibly lands, pours or heats. Then say what stays still. Many of our food prompts end with "The camera stays still", which lets the steam, the splash or the melt carry the shot. Give it a start and an end, such as a bowl of cream, then rings spreading outward.
Choose the angle by the dish. Straight down suits a bowl, a mug on a table or a flat arrangement, written as "Top-down macro". A slow circle suits a sculpted plate: the camera "circling gently to show the fruit fox from different angles" reveals a form that one frame hides. Keep the light soft and from one side, like a window in the morning. Backlight makes steam visible, while flat front light hides it.
