Plagiarism accusations against Brooke Bellamy, first brought to light by Nagi Maehashi on her website RecipeTin Eats, continue to emerge. Today, the Daily Telegraph reported Bellamy has been dropped as an ambassador for the Academy for Enterprising Girls’ program for young girls in business. And a second cookbook author has come forward.
High-profile US baker, food blogger and cookbook author Sally McKenney, of Sally’s Baking Addiction, prides herself on her well-tested recipes (like Maehashi). She claims Bellamy reproduced her recipe for “Best Vanilla Cake” (first published in 2019), both in her cookbook, Bake with Brooki, and on her YouTube channel. Bellamy has denied all allegations, including these latest ones. I’m not suggesting plagiarism has occurred, only that allegations have been made.
