Hi.
I'm a professional food photographer and I can speak from experience on this: It's all about the lighting.

Here are some basic rules:

1) Dont' mix light colors (ie temperatures from different colored lightbulbs or outdoor light mixed with indoor).
2) Use soft light (ie no hard shadows). Soft boxes are good for this.
3) Use bounce light to fill in the dark areas

If you have a recent model, high end cell phone, it will be enough. Otherwise, just do some light research on a camera in that price range. It's not going to vary too much at the $150 price point. Put it on a small tripod so you can take longer exposures to let more light in the camera.

Google some articles and tips on stock photography and it will expand on these ponts.

Good luck.
