My biggest problem here is that the lighting is dull and yellow. In #1 I would like to see the closer rim of the pan more in focus. #3 is such a strange angle, it looks like the bowl is going to fall off the table. Was this intentional?

The final shot does not look carefully composed. Think about the relationship of subject to background to edge. Why is the table edge crooked? Why can I see the cabinets? Why is the right plate cropped?

Meanwhile, your wife is very lucky. Food looks delish!

I love how you spend so much time describing the food, and absolutely no info on what you're specifically unhappy with, or what look you were going for other than a snapshot.

Have you tried not shooting in auto?
