My Smoko Break

Book excerpt: Over 200 recipes and 100 household tips from the popular Facebook page 'My Smoko Break' by Rural Weekly columnist and country mum Hayley Maudsley. Hayley Maudsley is a rural mum, living and working on an isolated Queensland wheat property with her husband and three kids. While having a cuppa and a homemade slice during her 'smoko break' one day, thinking about what to cook for dinner, she turned to Facebook for some inspiration. Instead, what Hayley found was picture perfect, beautifully styled dishes using ingredients she had no access to. That day she decided to start her own Facebook page- sharing her favourite family recipes, ideas for feeding the kids, and plenty of useful tips for around the house. Now more than 120,000 people follow Hayley online, and what they love most about her recipes is that they are incredibly simple to make, using ingredients that are easy to get your hands on, and every dish turns out just the way you'd hoped - delicious! Featuring more than 200 recipes that everyone in the family will love, My Smoko Break has you covered with everyday inspiration for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as dishes for special occasions, the school lunchbox, treats, desserts and more!
