SEVEN-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and half the jalapeño (about 1 tablespoon). Season with salt and pepper. In another small bowl, coarsely mash the avocado, lime juice and remaining 1 tablespoon jalapeño, then season with salt and pepper.
• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat or in a microwave, warm the refried beans with the cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the beans on a platter with a rim or lip. Top evenly with the cheese, followed by the olives, avocado mixture and salsa. Top with dollops of jalapeño-sour cream and sprinkle with crumbled Fritos, scallions and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

SEVEN LAYER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line three 13-by-9-inch baking pans with either parchment paper or greased aluminum foil.
• In a food processor, pulse together the butter, confectioners' sugar and almond paste until pale yellow and fluffy. Continue to pulse while adding the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract. Add the flour and process until a smooth dough forms, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides and corners of the bowl.
• Remove the dough and divide into 3 even pieces. Place one piece back into the processor with a dab of red gel food coloring, and pulse until combined. Repeat with another piece and a dab of green food coloring.
• Spread the red, green and plain doughs in the prepared baking pans, and bake until light and springy to the touch, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely in their pans, about 1 hour.
• Remove the cookie layers from their pans, reserving 1 pan to use as a mold. Place the apricot and raspberry jams in separate bowls or mugs and microwave until loose, about 1 minute. In another bowl, toss the chocolate chips with the corn syrup and oil and microwave in 30-second spurts, stirring with a fork in between, until a shiny glaze is formed.
• Place the green layer in the pan, then spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over it. Next, add the white layer, then repeat the process with the apricot jam. Top with the red layer, then spread the chocolate glaze across the top. Place in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens, then wrap in plastic and allow to set for another hour, refrigerated.
• Place a cutting board on top of the pan, invert it, and unmold the cookies. Using a sharp knife, cut the cookies lengthwise into 4 long pieces, then cut across in 1/2-inch intervals. These keep, well-wrapped at room temperature, 5 days.

CHARRED CORN 7-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• To make the roasted corn salsa: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and stir to coat in the oil. Season with salt. Cook until the corn kernels are browned and blistered, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. While still hot, add the cilantro, chile, lime juice, onion and the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Stir to combine. Season with salt, if needed, and a couple turns of black pepper. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Spread the Refried Beans on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish in an even layer.
• Carefully spread the Guacamole in an even layer over the beans.
• Mix together in a medium bowl the sour cream, coriander, smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined. Carefully spread the sour cream on top of the layer of Guacamole.
• To complete the remaining layers, sprinkle the Cotija evenly over the corn salsa. Top the Cotija with the radishes. Sprinkle the green onions on top. Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired. Serve with the limey tortilla chips.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook until the garlic and onion are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, green chiles, chipotles and sauce. Season with the remaining teaspoon salt. Stir to combine until the beans are coated, then cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and stir to incorporate. Increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the chicken broth is slightly reduced and thickened to a gravy, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the beans to a food processor with a blade attachment or to a high-speed blender. Puree until smooth. Season with salt.
• In a large bowl, add the avocados, cilantro, lime zest and juice and salt. Mash until smooth but still slightly chunky.

NINE-LAYER CHEESEBURGER DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Open the hamburger buns and arrange on a baking sheet. Brush the buns all over with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Toast until golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Cut into very small pieces and set aside.
• Combine the cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise and a pinch of salt in a food processor and process until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the ketchup and mustard in a bowl for the sauce, cover and refrigerate until ready for use.
• Arrange the bacon in a large nonstick skillet (do in batches if necessary) and heat over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove, let cool slightly and chop into small pieces.
• Wipe out the skillet. Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add one-third of the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in a 1/3 cup of the prepared ketchup sauce and cool the beef mixture to room temperature.
• Let the cheese mixture soften at room temperature, about 30 minutes, before building the dip. Layer the dip in a medium, straight-sided 3-quart clear glass trifle bowl or your favorite serving dish. Spread out the cheese mixture and then top, in even layers, with the buns, tomatoes, beef, the remaining ketchup sauce, the pickles, the remaining onions and the bacon.
• Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Top with the shredded lettuce right before serving. Serve with chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Adjust two oven racks to the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and the bread on another baking sheet. Bake the walnuts until golden and toasted, about 10 minutes. Bake the bread until lightly golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Set both aside to cool completely. Finely chop 2 cups of the walnuts and set aside. Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, parsley, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside. Put the chicken in a food processor along with 1 cup of the sour cream mixture, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Process until the mixture is a chunky puree. Transfer to another medium bowl and set aside. Rinse out the food processor, and add the toasted bread, 2 cups of the un-chopped walnuts, the mustard and 1 teaspoon salt. Process until the mixture resembles a chunky puree. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and 2 tablespoons water through the feed tube. Continue to process until smooth. To assemble the dip, make an even layer of the chicken salad in the bottom of a 2-quart trifle bowl. Then top with even layers of the following: the walnut mixture, chopped celery stalks, blue cheese, the reserved finely chopped walnuts, the remaining sour cream-herb sauce and then the cranberries. Sprinkle with the celery leaves. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours or overnight. Serve with crackers.
