You need to get into autopilot on the basics.
Wanting the arrangement that way is fine, it just makes the photography side more difficult.
Not just from the Depth of Focus but lighting too.
What you read probably referred to a single on camera flash, which is pretty lame.
When you have two (or three) off camera flashes you have tremendous control over your lighting.
Another tip is to have a spray bottle with water in and just before you take the photo give the food a quick gentle spray, it gives the food a little sparkle and helps lift it. With some food a little oil spray can help.
