PLAGIARISM: Nigella is accused of copying a 2005 cookbook from River Cafe

But she has vehemently denied that she copied the culinary delights.

Viewers spotted the similarity between her dishes being served up on her new series At My Table and the popular cook book put out by River Cafe in 2005.

On the show Nigella served up a radicchio, chestnut and blue cheese salad, a pasta and mussels dish and a chocolate amaretto cake.

But viewer Kathryn Grant discovered a book by River Cafe founders Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray had similar recipes with almost matching ingredients.

But Nigella ruled out her recipes may have been pinched saying: “I always, always credit when I’m inspired by other recipes or cooks.”
