Survivors of near-death return to earth secure in the knowledge that consciousness endures in a world even more real than this one. They speak of visiting a place of indescribable beauty and of being engulfed by a love that defies description. Upon their return, survivors are not the same person they were before their NDE. They are more tolerant and kind. They seek to emulate the love they felt on the other side. Almost all lose their fear of death. As wonderful and as life-changing as these experiences are however, they've only been experienced by 5% of the population... which leaves the rest of us out in the cold. But we don't have to remain in the cold. As I was reading about the changes in the lives of NDE survivors, it occurred to me that their stories were having an effect on me too.

However she noticed that previous generations of her family did not document these heirloom recipes on paper, but passed the cooking techniques only by word of mouth. So Blanche began a mission of cultural preservation, taking down the cooking methods and exact ingredients of these hundreds of year old recipes. She launched a popular YouTube cooking show called 'Feast in the Middle East\" to not only share these recipes with her family, but with the world. Some of these dishes are classical favorites, like smoky Syrian Muhammara dip with walnuts, pomegranate molasses and roasted peppers, \"Warak Enab,\" or rice and lamb rolled into tender grape leaves and cooked in a tomato broth, or Lebanese semolina custard scented with rose water called \"Layali Lubnan\" or \"Lebanese Nights\". Other dishes, like Musakhan, come from small and obscure villages like Ein Erik in the Palestinian West Bank. Musakhan is a sumac spiced chicken roasted on bread and smothered with caramelized onions and toasted pine nuts. Ancient recipes like chewy semolina date ring cookies called Ma'moul commemorate both Easter and Ramadan, while an over 1000 year old cinnamon spiced bulgur wheat porridge called Burbarra celebrates the Feast of Santa Barbara in the Arab Levant, Malta, and even Eastern Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile many of these dishes used to take hours to make, Blanche modernized these recipes to adapt to today's western palate and busy lifestyles. Readers will be able to recreate street foods like Chicken Shawarma and crispy Felafel in their own kitchens using easy techniques and familiar ingredients. Fusion dishes like Baklava Granola with pistachios and cardamom, Middle Eastern Nachos or \"Machos\" with pita chips and cucumber yogurt sauce, and a Lemon Cheesecake made with creamy labneh cheese adapt middle eastern spices and ingredients to western tastes. Today the \"Feast in the Middle East\" YouTube series has brought together a global cooking community in an unexpected and beautiful way.
