Food writing shines when it's specific to the food's particular flavor, texture, or smell, making it more evocative and precise. Rather than describing a soup as “tasty” or “scrumptious,” try more specific words like “buttery,” “chunky,” or “minty.”
Everyone loves food, and can relate to foodie phrases, but remember that food idioms do not literally mean what they say. For example, if you say someone is a "bad apple" this implies that the person is a negative influence on others or is troublesome in nature.

A foodie is a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food, and who eats food not only out of hunger but also as a hobby. The related terms "gastronome" and "gourmet" define roughly the same thing, i.e. a person who enjoys food for pleasure.
Dictionaries describe a foodie as a person having an avid interest in the latest food trends or someone who seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger.
“Food lover” is an all-encompassing term that includes food enthusiasts of all types, no matter what drives their interests. Comedian Jim Gaffigan has made it clear that he is a food lover, but not a foodie: “[I'm] somebody who wants the closest best burger.

Both "yum" ("delicious!") and "yum-yum" (a delicious thing) are typically ascribed to people imitating baby-talk. "Yummy" is simply "yum" in adjective form. Most early human vocalizations are simple and repeated, e.g. "Mama", "Papa", "Baba", etc.
It refers to something that's very tasty, delicious, appealing. We use it mainly for food and drinks, but you can extend it as a metaphor for a person who's really attractive (delicious-looking!) In the latter use, I've mainly heard it used by young women to describe a guy they think is cute. It's an informal word.
If you say that food, especially savoury food, is tasty, you mean that it has a fairly strong and pleasant flavour which makes it good to eat. Try this tasty dish for supper with a crispy salad.
