No one in English calls it that. We call it a cookbook.

If the issue is that baking isn’t cooking and mowing is gardening in your language, that’s not how it works in English.

  Look, I know you think you know English better than I do, but you do not.
  
  This is one of the most popular English cookbooks in the world. I get most of my baking recipes from it.

  Now at this point, you’re essentially trolling and I think it’s about time you stop.

    Hey man, great effort, but just to remind you the OG argument was: Cooking/Gardening can be a chore and a hobby

    I thought the argument was “Is mowing grass considered gardening?” If so, the definitive answer we reached was “depends on your definition of garden.” There’s really no wrong or right answer here y’all, language is relative.

    And then you decided to make it about how baking is not cooking and how books with baking recipes aren’t cookbooks. I take it this means you have changed your mind on this and maybe you don’t know the English language better than all native speakers?
