That's great! I never cooked much more than maybe a chilli (it was a good one) until my sister-in-law bought me a cookbook. I've been learning and experimenting and enjoying ever since. Good food doesn't have to be hard and damn is is satisfying to look at a dish that tastes good and say, "I made that, from just base ingredients, I made that look good, taste good, smell good. I turned unappealing into appealing". And really bringing the joy back into food.
