StormFront pretty much told ya everything. While a macro lens would be ideal, my friend has used a 50mm f/1.4 lens with much success in taking food photos in natural light. Its pretty much essential that you get a good tripod however, because if you go with natural lighting (which i would do if you dont have the proper lighting/strobe setup- avoid the pop-up flash that came with the camera!), steady-handing those shots is really tough. With the right framing of the photo, tripod, and a little experimenting with the shooting, you should be able get some good shots.
