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.
I do know how my native language works, believe it or not. If I went to a bookstore and asked for a “backbuch,” they wouldn’t know what I was talking about. What with it not being an English words.
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?
You’re the one who pulled baking into it though? I was not required to entertain your baking argument at any point, so why are you acting as if you have the moral high ground?
The argument was simply: Cooking and Gardening are oftentimes chores that fall on women, so it’s kind of interesting to see those as attractive hobbies for men. The last part wasn’t said, but implied, and i hoped people would realize it themselves, but alas now we’re here

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.
Here are some baking recipes from it.
Now at this point, you’re essentially trolling and I think it’s about time you stop.
Edit: Uh-oh, this bookstore put a baking book in the cookbook section and not the “backbuch” section!
Edit 2: Apparently neither Amazon nor Dolly Parton know what cooking is.
Edit 3: IT GETS WORSE! The famed BRITISH LIBRARY thinks BAKING CAKES is the same as COOKING!

Baking! In an Australian cookbook! They didn’t call it a backbuch, the fools!

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