Bestselling cookbook author Nagi Maehashi, founder of food blog RecipeTin Eats, has accused Brooke Bellamy, bakery owner and author of Bake With Brooki, of plagiarising two of her recipes, for caramel slice and baklava. She also claims Bellamy has used uncredited recipes from other, unnamed cookbook authors.
On Instagram, Maeheshi called the similarities “so specific and detailed that calling these a coincidence feels disingenuous”. Bellamy denied the allegations, as has her publisher, via their lawyers. “I did not plagiarise any recipes in my book which consists of 100 recipes I have created over many years,” Bellamy wrote, according to the Age.
