Nagi Maehashi, the Australian founder of popular food website RecipeTin Eats, said Ms Bellamy's cookbook contains recipes with "word-for-word similarities to mine".

Ms Bellamy, who owns the popular Brooki Bakehouse, has rejected her allegations, saying her book contains "100 recipes I have created over many years". One of those in question was created before Ms Maehashi published hers, she claims.

Hours after Ms Maehashi's raised her allegations, US author Sally McKenney also accused Ms Bellamy of plagiarising her vanilla cake recipe.

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 best-selling cookbook Bake with Brooki.
