Speaking of the dangers of dips, this one -- possible botulism -- might be a little worse than sharing your germs with your guests.

Olivier brand Parmesan & Asiago Dip with Garlic & Basil has been voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer for the possibility of contamination with Clostridium botulinum, or what we would just call botulism. The dip is packaged in an 11.76 ounce jar by Olivier Olive Oil Products Inc. out of Saint Helena, CA. The dip was distributed to Williams-Sonoma retail stores nationwide.

Does anyone have a good recipe for such a dip?
