Note 4: COOKING

Hello dear diary, and everyone who reads my new entry!
First of all, I'd like to thank you for the corrections that I received on my previous entries; it is extremely valuable!
I was too lazy to write a note yesterday, but today I hope to rectify the situation.

Let's talk about cooking! I know that almost everybody likes eating tasty food, but not everyone likes to cook.
To be good at cooking, the main thing you should have is a strong will to learn. Of course, it is not easy, but in the process of trial and error you will get a lot of experience, improving your culinary skills over time.
Eventually, it will become your hobby, you'll be doing it with love, and you'll get results.
As for me, I started my "chef career" as a teenager at the age of 12, as I recall. My first masterpiece was a waffle cake with condensed milk cream. Thanks to my grandma, who liked all my cooking experiments and never stopped me.
To be honest, I didn't get a lot of her experience, but I should!
Today I'm a real fan of cooking - not just of the process itself, but also of taking tasty-looking photos of the results.
I don't plan to become a cooking blogger, but I hope my husband and children will appreciate this hobby.

Yesterday I cooked a delicious currant cheesecake, here is it!

P.S. in this entry I used some new expressions, which I had looked up in a dictionary, and I hope they are used in a proper way.
1. rectify the situation - or maybe it would be better to say "improve"?
2. the result will be forthcoming - the result will come very soon...or maybe there are some more appropriate expressions?

Great entry! And that cheesecake looks delicious.

Regarding your note 1. "rectify the situation' - that is appropriate use, but sounds a bit forced or stilted. A more casual way to say it might be "I was too lazy to write a note yesterday, but I'll fix that today!"

Regarding 2. "the result will be forthcoming" - one possibility is what I put in, "Eventually, it will become your hobby, you'll be doing it with love, and you'll get results." Another option that you might have meant was "Eventually, once it becomes your hobby and you're doing it with love, you'll naturally get results."

3. "To be honest, I didn't get a lot of her experience, but I should!" I wasn't sure on the intended meaning here. Are you saying "I didn't inherit a lot of her talent, but I wish I had", or something closer to "I don't have her skill, but one day I will"?

Again, very good entry and a fun read.
