How to get home page to show one post from each category

Hello and thanks in advance. I’m wondering how it might be possible to get 1 most recent post from each blog category, to post on the front page of my website. Currently, I have the code [last-posts nb=”2″ cont=”excerpt”] and it’s working well. I would just like to be able to do the same thing for each category. Any codes?
