Think of a table centerpiece. It’s there as a main point of interest at the table. The same is true for food photography. Find a main point of interest—your photo’s centerpiece—and compose your photograph to draw the viewer’s eye to it. You can do this by sticking to the “Rule of Thirds”: Divide the photograph’s frame into a Tic-Tac-Toe design and place your subject at one of the intersecting points.

When I grow up I want to shoot like you!
It is very informational, well thought out and delectable!
Bravo!
It is definitely best to shoot at a low ISO for superior image quality.
But some amateurs don't use tripods, shoot in low light and get blurry photos. By raising the ISO, they might achieve a sharper shot and the newer sensors have less noise and good color at higher ISO. It is good enough for the web as you stated. I think that it is better to get a sharper photo with a little noise than one that is totally out of focus!
Best wishes,
Lou
Having said that, I thought these were nice shots and the food looks far from bland. Oh, and as for most of us, we can't afford to hire a professional photographer to capture our Xmas meal, so we are stuck with amateurs doing their best and if their best looks like these shots all present will be happy.
