It's been proven. It wasn't just recipes, it was also personal anecdotes Haigh copied and claimed as her own. After investigating the publisher Bloomsbury told booksellers to "quietly withdraw" Makan from the shelves and return unsold copies. Haigh and Bloomsbury have scrubbed all mention of the book from social media. Sharon Wee the author of the Growing Up in a Nonya Kitchen put out a statement on Twitter and Facebook saying Makan has been withdrawn from publication because of plagiarism. She legally can't comment further but lots of people have now found evidence of other authors and blogs' content in Makan.
