None of the pictures of the meals, drinks, or desserts look anything like the actual item, they have been embellished to a ridiculous extent. Don't expect your finished product to look anything like what you see.

I believe it depends on what you're making. I have had some recipes come out like the pictures and others that did not (that rascally PhotoShop!). I am most concerned about the taste. Some of my worse-looking creations tasted the best!
