Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | How do you become a cook

Hello everyone

"By cooking food" I hear you say. That's the problem I don't know where to start. I've been on Heather's diet since the start of the year and it has reduced my IBS symptoms significantly (severe abdominal pain) but it has been a result of cutting out all those foods that make life worth living.
I have both Heather's books and the recipies look amazing. The problem is that I've never been a cook before. I did a bit while at University but now that I'm living with my parent's again I tend to rely on my Mum for the evening meal (why not?) but as for everything else I never seem to be able to have a snack. My breakfast, lunch and snacks consist of rice krispies with soya milk, white bread with jam (although I've reduced the jam because it seemed to be having an affect on gas...great), soya yogurt and soya custard...beautiful.
If anyone is interested in travelling to Britain to become my own personal chef that would be fantastic but alternatively it would be great if someone would give me a few tips on some basic recipies to liven up my diet and also some ideas to get over the inertia of actually "getting my hands dirty" regarding cooking.

Thank you in advance

Kind regards as always

Tim
