Recipetin's plagiarism scandal eats another turn when another author reports

The stove gloves are eliminated between two of the baking queens of Australia in a war war – since allegations of the plagiarism bring their recipes under control.

Nagi Maehashi, the best -selling author, food blogger and founder of Recipetin Eats, claimed on Tuesday that the Backinfluencer Brooke Bellamy had plagued recipes in her cookbook Bake With Brooki – a claim that Ms. Bellamy and her publisher fought.

It comes after both Ms. Maehashi and Ms. Bellamy enjoyed a meteoric increase in the food blogging room.

Ms. Maehashi was born in Japan, but grew up in Sydney. She is a former financier at Brookfield Multiplex and PWC, who swung food blogs blogging in 2014.

Ms. Maehashi's cookbooks with Pan MacMillan Australia sold hundreds of thousands of copies, won industry prices and smashed non -fiction books.

The experienced business practice of the 47-year-old has made it possible for her a luxurious lifestyle that comprises a $ 7 million Victorian Manor in Hunters Hill, Northwest Sydney.

Her new opponent Brooke Bellamy, Nee Saward, later turned to baking.

Ms. Bellamy is a former junction influencer who led a blog called World of Wanderlust and published a book of the same name in 2016.

This year the 33-year-old returned to Tasmania and founded Cafe Charlie's desserthaus, which is now heard and operated by her parents.

In 2021, Ms. Bellamy moved to Brisbane with her then friend of the landscape architect Justice Bellamy and founded the Bakery Brooki Bakehouse.

Her husband today, Mr. Bellamy, comes from the family behind a famous meal empire.

He grew up on the family farm on which the Infant-Formula company Bellamys Bio was founded by his parents David Bellamy and Dooley Crighton-Bellamy before it was taken over by a Chinese milk giant for $ 1.5 million.

In Brisbane, Mr. Bellamy acted with his wife as co-director of Brooki Bakehouse. The business has received massive social media on the back of Tikok videos from Ms. Bellamy at work in the business.

But it is the debut cookbook that MS Bellamy was released with Penguin last year, Bake with Brooki with whom her rival Ms. Mahashi questioned her.

Ms. Mahashi, who will bake dozens of iterations of a pleasure before setting a recipe, claim that the recipes for Caramel Slice and Baklava in Ms. Bellamy's cookbook are almost identical that she posted on the recipetin Eats.

Daily Mail Australia does not suggest that Ms. Maehashi's claims are true.

“For me, the similarities are so specific and detailed that it feels incorrect to call them a coincidence,” she wrote on Tuesday on social media.

'There are also recipes from other authors, including a very well -known, beloved cookbook author, in which the similarities are so extensive and they are absurd as a chance (in my opinion).

“I speak because it protects this species when I seep away.”

Ms. Bellamy made the claims and said on Instagram: “I have not plagued recipes in my book that consists of 100 recipes that I have created for many years.”

She said she had done and sold her caramel disc since 2016, while the recipe for the recipe for the Slice 2020 has published.

Ms. Bellamy added that she “immediately offered to remove both recipes from future reprints to prevent further worsening”.

“I have great respect for Nagi and what she has done for chefs, sculptors and cookbooks in Australia in recent years – especially as entrepreneurs.”

Ms. Mahashi said that out of respect for the other authors, she decided not to name them or to share further details of the allegedly plagued recipes.

But a second baker only reported a few hours after her statement to reflect the plagiarism of Ms. Mahashi's plagiarism.

The American Baker Sally McKenney claimed on Instagram that Ms. Bellamy had also copied her vanilla cake recipe. Ms. Mahashi had turned to her to let her know.

“Original recipe creators who have used the work for the development and test recipes earn recognition-especially in a best-selling cookbook,” said Ms. McKenney.

Penguin also rejected the allegations and said about the lawyers [Bake with Brooki] According to Ms. Maehashi, Brooke Bellamy were written.

Daily Mail Australia contacted Ms. Maehashi, Ms. Bellamy and Penguin for a comment.
