RecipeTin Eats Star Nagi Maehashi Votes with Aussie Democracy Sausage Amid Recipe Plagiarism Drama

BBG News

Nagi Maehashi has submitted her choice for the 2025 Federal Election, a decision not made merely out of respect for democratic principles.

In the heat of a plagiarism dispute with ex-travel blogger-turned-baker Brooke Bellamy, RecipeTin Eats celebrity decided to pause from the internet uproar and cast a vote on the weekend instead.

She also excitedly encouraged other Australians to participate in voting by posting on Instagram a photo of her enjoying a tasty “democracy sausage.

She wrote, “Australia knows the way to encourage voting,” accompanying a photo where she was seen biting into a sausage adorned with onions, mustard, and tomato sauce, while also sporting an ‘I voted’ sticker in the image.

After the cookbook author and blogger firmly addressed the issue with ‘trolls’, who were harassing fellow chef Bellamy during the plagiarism dispute, they chose to take action.

Maehashi ignited a heated debate when she claimed that ex-travel blogger-turned-baker Bellamy had plagiarized two of her caramel slice and baklava recipes from her cookbook titled “Bake with Brooki.

On a surprising twist on Thursday, Maehashi shared a video on Instagram appealing to her followers and well-wishers to give Bellamy some space.

‘Please stop the trolling,’ the Australian cook said in the clip.

As a lifestyle expert, let me clarify my stance: While I’ve raised some substantial concerns, it’s crucial to remember that these issues should never be met with personal assaults. The discourse surrounding Brooke Bellamy on the internet should reflect respect and constructive criticism, not malicious attacks.

I’m against it, so could we cease? I understand that only a tiny fraction of internet users engage in this way. I’m confident that most people online are decent, enjoyable, and ordinary individuals.

Feel free to express your views, engage in lively discussions, back Brooki or me, even if you don’t agree with either of us, or think we’re less than perfect – as long as the conversation remains respectful and avoids personal attacks or offensive remarks.

Maehashi continued, “To put it simply, what we’re discussing is essentially recipes, and it boils down to a matter of business disagreement.

It appears that the accusations you’re referring to are claims we’ve brought forth against the corporation known as Penguin. These claims have been initiated on behalf of our company.

‘So it just, we’ve gotta be respectful about this, you know, it’s the RecipeTin way.’

After the online baking sensation, Bellamy, faced a heated response due to allegations of plagiarism, she secured her social media platforms.

Following the sensational revelations, more chefs and writers are speaking up with comparable accusations.

American baker Sally McKenney, well-known as Sally’s Baking Addiction, shared on Instagram that Bellamy seemed to have duplicated her vanilla cake recipe, following a heads-up from Maehashi.

McKenney stated, “Those who meticulously create and refine recipes, as well as test them, deserve recognition, particularly when their efforts result in a popular cookbook.

Mother-of-one Bellamy dismissed the assertion, sharing on Instagram that her cookbook “Bake with Brooki” consists of recipes developed “over a long period of time.

She’s refuted claims of plagiarism and emphasized that she’s been sharing her homemade caramel slice recipe since 2016, even posting an old photo of one she prepared back then.

Bellamy recently retreated to her $3.6 million three-bedroom residence in Brisbane and made an appeal for solitude, following the inundation of harsh criticisms on her personal Instagram due to the influx of trolls. She has since made her account private.

‘The past 24 hours have been extremely overwhelming,’ she said in a statement.

She mentioned that there have been instances where media appeared both at her home and workplace, leading to harsh criticism online. This experience has been incredibly troubling not only for her professional team but also for her young family.

Baking allows room for creativity, but it also relies heavily on scientific principles that require precision and adherence to specific formulas. This is why many recipes follow similar steps and measurements; deviate from them, and the results can be unpredictable or undesirable.

At present, my main focus is on securing the well-being of the exceptional team at Brooki Bakehouse as well as my beloved family.

Maehashi reported that Penguin contested the accusations through their legal representatives, stating: “Regarding the claims made by your client, our client politely refutes them and verifies that all recipes found in [Bake with Brooki] were penned by Brooke Bellamy.
