Recipe wars: Brooke Bellamy dumped as more plagiarism allegations emerge after RecipeTin Eats claims
The recipe wars threatening to tear apart Australia's food community have escalated with more cooks coming out to allege plagiarism and one of Australia's most well-known bakers being dumped as an ambassador. The issue erupted on Tuesday when RecipeTin Eats founder Nagi Maehashi claimed Bake with Brooki's Brooke Bellamy had infringed her copyright by 'word-for-word' taking two of her recipes, including caramel slice, and using them in her latest best-selling book, Bake with Brooki. Maehashi also alleged that baking queen Bellamy had taken recipes from other authors: 'including (from) a very well known, beloved cookbook author where the similarities are so extensive, dismissing it as a coincidence would be absurd.' Maehashi doubled down on her claims in another Instagram post on Thursday that showed a side-by-side comparison of her caramel slice and Bellamy's. Another food blogger has gone public to allege Bellamy had stolen one of her recipes, too. US food blogger Sally McKenney, who founded Sally's Baking Addiction, claimed Bellamy had taken her best vanilla cake recipe. 'Nagi ... I'm so grateful you let me know months ago that one of my recipes — the best vanilla cake I've ever had, published by me in 2019 — was also plagiarised in this book and also appears on the author's YouTube channel,' McKenney said in an Instagram story. 'Original recipe creators who put in the work to develop and test recipes deserve credit — especially in a best-selling cookbook.' Camera Icon Nagi Maehashi, whose RecipeTin Eats website is one of Australia's most beloved recipe sites. Credit: Instagram Bellamy, who has more than a million followers online, has denied plagiarising any recipes. She said she had been making the recipes at the centre of Maehashi's allegations — for caramel slice and baklava — for years before Maehashi published her takes on the favourites. 'I did not plagiarise any recipes in my book which consists of 100 recipes I have created over many years, since falling in love with baking as a child and growing up baking with my mum in our home kitchen. She said she had offered to remove both of Maehashi's recipes from future reprints to prevent 'further aggravation'. Adding to the drama, it has been revealed that Bellamy has now been dumped as an ambassador for the federally funded Academy for Enterprising Girls. 'Brooke Bellamy was recently engaged to conduct a small number of promotional activities for the Academy for Enterprising Girls program over the coming months,' an academy spokesman told The Daily Telegraph. 'While we make no legal assessment on the allegations aired in the media, we have informed Bellamy that we will not move forward with the engagement at this time.' Published by Penguin Random House, Bake with Brooki, which retails for nearly $50 a book, sold 92,849 copies in less than six months, equating to $4.6m in sales. Camera Icon Brooke Bellamy says she has been attacked online amid claims of stolen recipes. (Jono Searle/AAP PHOTOS) Credit: AAP An analysis of a YouTube video by Bellamy outlining the recipe and McKenney's published version by 7NEWS showed Bellamy also referring to her cake as 'the best ever vanilla cake'. Hers uses ingredients that are only slightly different from McKenney's: a 3g difference in the amount of flour used and 5g in butter measurements and three large eggs and two extra egg whites, while Bellamy's requires four eggs. McKenney's recipe also calls for 400g of granulated sugar, where as Bellamy's asks for a finer caster sugar, although the sugars can be substituted. The ingredients are listed in a similar order and both recipes contain the same three-word note — 'Yes, a tablespoon!' — next to the measurement for vanilla extract. In a twist, Ms Maehashi herself has now also come under fire, with celebrity chef Luke Mangan claiming she had not credited him appropriately for one of his recipes. Her book contains the statement that 'the author and the publisher have made every effort to contact copyright holders for material used in this book'. 'I couldn't say off the top of my head whether she did reach out and ask permission or not, but I would have thought, in general, you would contact the person whose recipe it was,' Mangan was quoted as saying in The Courier Mail. 'I wasn't even aware she had used my recipe.' 'She has credited my recipe, but I would have preferred a bigger mention and at least linking people to our website,' he said. On Thursday, Maehashi released another statement on her Instagram page alongside an image of a direct comparison of the directions for caramel slice recipe that shows only small differences. Ms Maehashi said she had not made her plagiarism claims lightly. 'I tried for almost 6 months, going back and forth with Penguin/Brooki. I hired lawyers. 'I also did it knowing it would open the doors floodgates to haters, and no control over what the press will say. 'I have nothing to gain out of speaking up except that I believe it's the right thing to do. 'I do not want their money. I didn't even ask for reimbursement of legal fees.' Camera Icon The caramel slice recipe comparison. Credit: Instagram The issue is expected to come back into the spotlight next week with Maehashi's RecipeTin Eats book and Baking with Brooki both shortlisted at the Australian book industry awards in Melbourne. Bellamy and Penguin Random House have been approached for comment.

RecipeTin Eats: cookbook author accuses influencer of plagiarism
The Australian founder of a popular food website has accused a social media influencer of copying two of her recipes. Owner of RecipeTin Eats, Nagi Maehashi, said baker Brooke Bellamy's cookbook contains recipes with "word-for-word similarities to mine".Ms Bellamy has rejected the allegations, saying her book "consists of 100 recipes I have created over many years" and that one of the recipes in question was created before Ms Maehashi had published Eats attracts a monthly readership of 45 million page views and Ms Maehashi is the author of two cookbooks. Ms Bellamy is the owner of three bakeries and a popular baker on TikTok with two million followers. Ms Maehashi said that a reader pointed out what she described as "remarkable similarities" between her caramel slice recipe and the one in Ms Bellamy's bestselling cookbook Bake with said she later also discovered similarities between her baklava recipe and Ms Bellamy's, offering a side-by-side comparison in a statement on RecipeTin Maehashi said she had contacted Ms Bellamy's publisher, Penguin Random House Australia, adding that they "brought in lawyers and resorted to what felt to me legal intimidation"."It feels like a blatant exploitation of my work. To see them plagiarised and used in a book for profit, without permission, and without credit, doesn't just feel unfair," she Maehashi has retained her own legal counsel and has written to both Ms Bellamy and Penguin. Bake with Brooki was published in October 2024 and has since sold A$4.6m (£2.1m; $2.9) worth of and Ms Bellamy have both strenuously denied the accusations, with the publisher issuing a response to Ms Maehashi confirming "the recipes in the BWB Book were written by Brooke Bellamy".Ms Bellamy said she offered to take down the recipes from future reprints, which was communicated "swiftly" to Ms added that she had "great respect for Nagi", but has stood by her recipes in a series of Instagram stories. "Recipe development in today's world is enveloped in inspiration from other cooks, cookbook authors, food bloggers and content creators," she Ms Maehashi and Ms Bellamy's cookbooks have been shortlisted for this year's Australian Book Industry Awards.

Stock Market Sell-Off: 3 No-Brainer Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now
Rising economic uncertainty and rising interest rates are a bad recipe for growth stocks. Growth investors have been hit hard amid the current stock market sell off fueled by U.S. trade policies and the subsequent reaction from other countries. Many companies face meaningful headwinds from the fallout of ongoing turmoil. However, long-term investors know that finding strong businesses amid market duress is a great way to build wealth. These three stocks stand out as no-brainer opportunities for investors right now. 1. Coupang Coupang (NYSE: CPNG) has taken the Amazon playbook and applied it to South Korea. Its ultra-fast shipping, supported by more than 100 fulfillment centers throughout the country, ensures over 99% of Coupang orders arrive within 24 hours of purchase. That fulfillment network attracts customers to its Wow membership, which offers free shipping with no minimum orders as well as food delivery (think Uber Eats) and Coupang's video streaming service. In turn, the growing Wow membership attracts third-party merchants and restaurants to Coupang's platform, driving high-margin revenue growth for its marketplace business. Coupang has several growth drivers. It expanded into Taiwan in 2022 and has seen strong momentum. It recently launched its Wow membership in that market and it expects to reach breakeven faster than it did in South Korea. It also acquired Farfetch last year, helping it expand into luxury fashion. The company also could expand into digital advertising, which has proven a high-margin growth driver for other e-commerce companies, most notably Amazon. Overall, management expects steady revenue growth while expanding its EBITDA margin. Its long-term goal is greater than 10% margin, up from 4.5% in 2024. It sees room to improve its supply chain efficiency, gaining operating leverage, while scaling its business in Taiwan and its Eats delivery service. That should produce strong earnings growth for investors. With the stock trading for an enterprise value to forward EBITDA ratio of less than 23, it's priced well below its historical average. With room for substantial earnings growth over the long run, patient investors should snap up shares here. 2. The Trade Desk When marketers want to run a digital advertising campaign they might look to Facebook or Google, but those companies have a notable shortcoming. They present just a single channel for their ads. For marketers that want to run a broad campaign that will prioritize their ad performance across multiple channels like streaming video, podcasts, or publisher's websites, The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) offers a best-in-class solution. The Trade Desk's platform uses machine learning algorithms to optimize advertising campaigns for its customers. It combined data from the advertisers themselves with third-party audience data it's able to collect, and analyzes its own historical data to feed its algorithm. That data advantage cannot be overlooked and presents a great competitive advantage for The Trade Desk. As a result, the company can charge a premium to advertisers since it's able to help them get more out of their budgets. Management reported very disappointing earnings results in February, which led to a significant sell-off in the stock. That sell-off was exacerbated by the introduction of tariffs, which could act as a headwind to the advertising market this year. CFO Laura Schenkein pointed out the shortfall in its fourth quarter earnings wasn't due to competitive pressure or a lack of opportunities. It was a failure to execute. Going forward, the company plans to grow by leaning into opportunities and increasing operating expenses. That could weigh on The Trade Desk's earnings in the short-run, but over the long run it has plenty of room for operating margin expansion. It's a software business, with relatively low fixed costs. Its gross margin is in the 80%-range, which should allow the company to become increasingly profitable as it scales. Despite the sell-off, The Trade Desk's stock is still trading at a premium valuation. Investors can buy shares for an enterprise value to expected sales multiple of 8.6. But that's arguably a price that's more than fair for a company that should be able to grow its market share of a fast-growing market while expanding its profit margins substantially over the long run. 3. Datadog As enterprises add more software to their operations they find they have a lot of data spread across disparate silos, making it difficult to pin down where exactly IT issues stem from. Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG) takes in all of that data, indexes it, and presents it to customers in a unified dashboard making it easy to see what exactly's going on in their systems. The data observability market is growing quickly as enterprises look to add more services, migrate to cloud computing platforms, and look to collect as much data as possible for artificial intelligence (AI) services. That gives Datadog a long runway for growth, but the company has successfully implemented a land-and-expand approach to its business that's provided an extra boost to its top line. The company expanded from observability to cloud security and cloud service management and added modules for improving software delivery and analyzing customer data. That's resulted in a net revenue retention rate in the high-110s. And, 50% of its customers now use four or more of its products, up from 42% two years ago. Another 12% use eight or more, up from 6% two years ago. The company benefits from significant switching costs, which are only strengthened as it upsells customers to additional services. Switching observability providers will require significant overhead costs of reintegrating every data silo with a new provider with the risk of losing valuable data in the process. There's the added cost of retraining users to a new provider. Meanwhile, Datadog is making it easier for non-tech personnel to interact with data using its Bits AI chatbot, further cementing its position within enterprises. The stock currently trades for an enterprise value about 10-times analysts' expectations for revenue in 2025. That's not the cheapest stock, but its growth potential remains strong. Analysts see sales climbing about 20% per year over the next few years. Meanwhile, it benefits from the high operating leverage of a software business, so earnings growth can be significantly higher over the long run. Should you invest $1,000 in Coupang right now?
