I love it so much when you are in your kitchen cooking, making a mess, and are so proud of your creations that you want to snap some pics and share them across the land (i.e., Instagram and Facebook) and collect likes and positive feedback. I am the last person to tell you that you're doing it wrong. There is no wrong when it comes to making love in the kitchen. But it does hurt my heart when I see your beautiful creations be represented by what looks like a pot of dog diarrhea.

It's your photos, I'm afraid, that are making your creations look shitty. Literally. But no more, my fair kitchen god/dess. You don't need to be a professional photographer (or have professional equipment) to make that love in the kitchen look like magic in a photo.
