Also, you wouldn’t “pour over a cookbook”, unless you were a sauce. The correct term would be “pore”, as in “I pored over Lidia’s cookbook”.

Heh. I noticed that, too. Poor English causes one to discount the writer's knowledge of, well, anything. Doesn't it.

Sure does. To be a writer, a person first has to be a reader. A discerning one. Using homonyms in each others place is a common error these days.
I’m convinced it’s because many people simply are not readers.They are used to a diet of pre-digested pap tickling their ears.
The distinction between words which sound alike but which have very different meanings is completely lost on them.
How baffling some things must be to them. Like children listening to the grownups talk.
