That's laughable! What copyright exactly was she referring to? The food? You could argue that a recipe or presentation could be deemed as intellectual property but then you'd have to be in a situation of trying to recreate it and claim it as yours. Taking a photo is neither of those things.
Why is there such fear of the camera out there in the public domain? People love to look at photos but are then scared when someone with a camera starts taking them. One can't exist without the other.
