An Australian food blogger has made a splash in the property market after buying a lavish mansion for $7 million.
RecipeTin Eats founder and best-selling author Nagi Maehashi bought the Victorian-style house in Hunters Hill, Sydney’s north-west, in December.
The former Group Vice Chief Financial Officer of construction company Multiplex rose to fame after starting her recipe blog RecipeTin Eats in 2011.
The foodie’s blog was turned into a book, RecipeTin Eats: Dinner, which was on the New York Times bestseller list and won Book of the Year at the 2022 Australian Book Industry Awards.
The seven-figure price Ms Maehashi recently dished out dwarfs the renovated four-bedroom house’s previous price tag of $4.75 million when it sold in November 2019.

The mansion was sold off the market by BresicWhitney’s Nicholas McEvoy, who also handled the sale in 2019.
Enclosed by a wraparound sandstone porch, the three-bathroom, two-car home is just a stone’s throw from the Lane Cove River and local schools.
Its listing shows the home has ‘impressive conservation, enjoy original character and modern improvements for a family lifestyle’.
It also features wooden floors, a vine-covered outdoor entertaining area, a pool and approved development applications for a ‘major refurbishment’.

Despite never having worked in a restaurant or any formal culinary training, Ms. Maehashi’s passion for food helped RecipeTins grow into one of the largest recipe blogs in the world.

Aussies immediately liked her recipes because they break down difficult classics into home-cooked meals.
Ms. Maehashi has over 1.3 million followers on Instagram.
She previously told Daily Mail Australia that she is working ‘far harder than I ever have in business’ to capitalize on her virality.
“Most days I’m up in my armpits in a mess… experimenting, shooting or filming, all the while beating off a giant dog who thinks he’s allowed to taste test everything,” she said.
Her popularity led to RecipeTin Eats: Dinner becoming the best-selling book by a debut Australian author in its first week on the shelves.
