The SDUIBPC contains 5,484,999 words which were collected from 100 English cookbooks that focus only on baking recipes. The research investigates words in international bakery recipes through a focus on verbs which define this specific discourse. The research combines AntConc 4.3.1 with statistical methods including frequency and range analyses, log-likelihood, Bayes factor, effect size for log-likelihood and evaluations from experts. The research discovered 761 statistically significant words which distribute across four functional categories including nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. The functional analysis revealed 103 common verbs which demonstrate the operational and performative characteristics of culinary language. The research results provide essential language knowledge which helps culinary experts, teachers, and students enhance their English skills for specialized environments.
