Posts, selected by Category, on Pages?

    Is there a way to include posts, according to category, within a page?
    For example, within a (static) Page about How to Bake a Cake, a list or series of extracts of (blog) Posts that are categorised as “cake” (not “biscuit/cookie”) on the “See Also . .” model.
    If there is, clear coding (html-like) instructions (suitable for a dummy like me) or a plug-in suggestion, would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for your speedy reply, Rahul.
    Unfortunately although I understand the idea of what you link to, sort of, it’s far too technical for me – I simply don’t have the coding understanding or the time to learn all that, fundamental though I’m sure it is.

    What I guess I’d really like is a plug-in that handles all the ‘under the hood’ stuff, that enables me, when editing/creating a page to see a widget selection box titled “See also” (or whatever) with a drop down of my categories (or tags), with the published result of seeing (say) 3 or 4 Post excerpts on the Page, that people who have read the Page can also go look at.

    Is there one? Anyone like to create one? ??
    Thanks again.

    The Page Lists Plus plugin might do this.

    I also did a search for the word Category from the Search Plugins box at Plugins, Add New, I think, and just read through them all. There were a lot of results, but I think I read the name of just about every category plugin.
