What should I prepare before starting?

Start with a description of the subject, composition, and visual style. Nano Banana 2 also accepts reference images for guidance; identify which details matter before generating.

Can I use these images on a restaurant menu?

Verify that the image accurately represents the actual dish and serving. If generation changes ingredients or portions, use a real photograph instead of presenting the concept as the menu item.

Does generation use credits?

Generation uses credits. Check the selected model’s price and your plan before generating. Regenerating a variation also uses credits; review the first result before making more.

Choose a portion, plate, garnish, and camera angle.

Food lighting

Use light that shows texture without unrealistic gloss or steam.

Two prompts to start with

Use these written examples as a starting point. Adapt the subject and references to your project; generated results will vary.

First direction

An editorial food image of roasted carrots with lentils and a yogurt dressing on a cream ceramic plate. Natural side light, visible ingredient textures, restrained garnish, overhead composition.

Another approach

A close food-photography concept of a rustic apple tart on a wooden table. Thin apple slices, lightly browned pastry, soft window light, realistic scale, no lettering.

Finishing the result

Generated food is illustrative. For menus or product listings, use verified images where the exact serving and ingredients matter; do not present an invented dish as the delivered product.
