TinaMrto bear the consequences
It's not ungrammatical, but I'm more familiar with "to suffer the consequences" as a fixed phrase.

Mister Micawber, thank you very much for the explanation! As for the "cookbook" and "cookery book", I guess both are correct grammatically, just "cookbook" is more common. I've heart of the third option "cooking book", is it equally common?

Thank you CalifJim! Does it mean that "to suffer the consequences" have only negative connotation, I mean it's used only when the consequences are negative? How one can SUFFER about something positive

Yes. The opposite is something like "to reap the rewards". (86 million hits on Google, by the way)

I've never heard that; it is I suppose a common choice for those who don't know the usual term.
