About the Blog - Fragments of a Life

This blog will contain things I have written; some of my best photos; and a selection of my favourite recipes. I am truly fortunate to have traveled to and worked in fascinating places, met remarkable people, and seen many of the wonders of planet earth. Friends have urged me to write about these experiences and to publish my photographs. Maybe, one day, these will come together into a book. For now, they will be presented as fragments of a life since I am not yet prepared to "retire" and write. As well, for many years, I have been promising to publish my "cookbook". As I cannot get my act together to edit that all at once, I will start publishing those recipes one by one.

Pasta Salad with Pesto and Nuts

A pasta salad with a bit of a difference - very simple and nice for a buffet.



1 pound pasta (bow ties or spirals)
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup pesto sauce
¼ cup chopped walnuts soaked in honey
lemon zest from one large lemon
salt and pepper to taste

  • To a large pot of boiling water, add 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Add noodles and cook just until tender but firm (al dente). Do not overcook the pasta.
  • Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • Mix the pasta with the pesto sauce, the chopped walnuts and the lemon zest.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.
