Speaker 2 (00:13):
So Brookie is in Brisbane and she's actually an ex
tazzy girl Bailey, and she became quite famous online on
Instagram or.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Whatever being a travel vlogger.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Then she wanted to settle down. She moved to Brisbane
and started making cookies. These cookies went completely viral. She
went viral doing like a day in the life of
somebody who bakes, and then she was able to start
her own bakery. It's in I think it's in New
Farm and it's beautiful. People line up to get the cookie.
She's came to the Gold Coast the other day, a

(00:45):
hot bunch of hot tomato girls went. She did something
at the QT and that was really nice.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
It was full sold out. People love her.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
And then she's released a book and it's called Like
Bake with Brookie and it was absolute bestseller before it
was even released. Seeing how people do presale absolute bestseller
before it was released, and Shan well, people are saying
she sold like five million dollars worth of her books.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I don't know. You don't five million dollars worth of
the book.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yes, that's one of the things that I read. So
who knows it that's true. People just throw numbers out there.
But anyway, there is another very famous Australian chef and
her name is Naggie Mayhashi. Now she is recipe tin
eats right now. I don't know if you know her.
She also released a book. I think we had her
on air when she released her book. She came with

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Libraries and did a tour. They all sold out as well.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
She has claimed that Brookie has stolen one of her
recipes and the recipe is caramel slice.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Now when you put the.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Two recipes together, they look exactly the same, okay, but
the thing is caramel slice is caramel slices, carabal slice?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Right, yes, Like I looked at the recipe, it might
be the recipe for it, full stop, full.

Speaker 1 (01:58):

She is. She has been making caramel sliices for like
fifty years, which was her mum's recipe.

Which is the same recipe.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Which is the same recipe, So is she trying to
sew it?

contacted the publisher and all that kind of stuff.

was going to get to that.

open the phone? Can you steal a recipe? Because when

caramel slies like.
