SINGAPORE - A London chef has had her cookbook pulled from circulation after claims that she plagiarised a Singaporean author, and others have since come forward with more allegations. Singapore-born Elizabeth Haigh released her cookbook Makan in May this year. But her British publisher Bloomsbury Absolute has withdrawn it after Singaporean Sharon Wee pointed out several similarities to her book.
‘Makan,’ the cookbook by Elizabeth Haigh, has been withdrawn by Bloomsbury Absolute over plagiarism allegations centred on Sharon Wee’s ‘Nonya Global’ and Chris Ying’s ‘You and I Eat the Same’
