Let's face it, cooking is not just a top priority at the lives of every person, woman, or child on Earth. In reality, much too individuals have made learning to cook a priority in their own lives. Which usually means that we frequently exist on foods and boxed mixes rather than just taking your time and effort to prepare healthy food for the families and our personal enjoyment.

This usually means that at any particular time on your cooking cycles there's quite probably someone somewhere that is worse or better at cooking compared to you. Take advantage of this because the very best have bad days when it comes to cooking. There are a number of men and women who cook for several factors. Some cook in order to eat and survive while others cook since they actually enjoy the process of ingestion. Some cook through the times of emotional trauma and others cookout of absolute boredom. No matter your reason for cooking or understanding how to cook you need to always begin with the fundamentals.

Another terrific bit of information when it comes to cooking basics is to try simpler recipes for some time and expand your own horizons into the more intricate recipes that abound. Most recipes will have a little note in their degree of difficulty and you're able to read through the recipe to find out whether or not it is something you're considering preparing or confident you could prepare.

One of the reasons we fell in love with our house was the garden, with its fig, apple and plum trees. I think the plum variety is Jubilee, but she's a temperamental old thing and in recent years has flowered and fruited biennially.

This year has been a fallow year. Usually by now I'd have made endless jars of jam (my favourite recipe being plum and earl grey), ice cream, crumbles, compote, and cake after cake after cake - anything to use up the vast quantities that fill every bowl we own.. But I've been more selective this year, buying just a few to eat or use as we choose rather than out of necessity.

Having said that, I've made this cake three times this week, tweaking the recipe a bit here and there until it's just about perfect. Plums seem to take on a different personality depending on what you put them with - I do love a versatile fruit - and my favourite combination is plum and rose.

I have a lovely recipe for plum and rose jam, which'll have to be put away for next year. You can see this here - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/2346821-plum-and-earl-grey-jam.

Meanwhile, this cake is an excellent way to use up the last of the crop and works equally well with plums of all varieties and in all states of ripeness.

11. 2 tbsp flaked almonds
12. 100 g unrefined icing sugar
13. 1 tbsp rosewater

Instructions to make Plum & almond cake with rosewater icing

1. Preheat the oven to 170C. Butter and line a loaf tin (I use shop-bought loaf tin liners. Much quicker).
2. Cream together the butter and the sugar until pale and creamy, then mix in the lemon zest.
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, mixed spice and salt, then mix in the ground almonds.
4. Mix the eggs into the butter/sugar in thirds - a third of the egg mixture with a small spoon of the flour mixture, a third more eggs, more flour etc.
5. When all blended together, stir in the plums.
6. Scrape the mixture into the loaf tin, smooth the top, then scatter over the flaked almonds.
7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, testing with a skewer for doneness (I love that word). Return to the oven if a skewer comes out sticky.
8. When cooked, put the tin on a rack to cool for 20 minutes before taking the loaf out of the tin.
9. Sift the icing sugar into a small bowl. In a cup, mix together the rosewater and the warm water, and gradually add this to the icing sugar. Stir until you have a smooth, quite runny icing.
10. Pour or drizzle the icing over the loaf and leave to set.
