Review of Bake with Brooki by Brooke Bellamy
Following recent events, I’ve chosen to remove my review of Bake with Brooki.
If you’d like to learn more about the situation, I recommend reading Nagi’s (RecipeTin Eats) public statement regarding the alleged plagiarism of her original recipes. It's an important reminder of why giving proper credit in the baking and recipe community matters.
At the same time, it’s worth remembering that everyone involved is human. Mistakes, poor decisions, and misunderstandings can happen — and kindness goes a long way, even when we’re holding people accountable.
JLL Cookie Cutter Co. does not suggest the allegations of plagiarism or copyright infringement are true, only that they have been made.
If you would like to support Nagi Maehashi and the brilliant wor she does with her food banks, head over to amazon and purchase one of her books
And if you're inspired to start building your own collection of original recipes, The Home Baker’s Test Kitchen is the perfect place to start — a practical journal designed to help you experiment, refine, and truly make every recipe your own. If sold out on our website you can also buy direct from amazon (free prime shipping)
If you’re interested in the broader issue of recipe originality and how to protect your own work (or use others’ ethically), I’ve written a full blog post here:
