What's in the Times dining section today? Well, let's find out. Here are our top picks from today's dining section. We have two words for you: smoked peaches.

1. Smoked peaches with rose veal
Smoked peaches! Fascinating and delicious. Don't miss the companion article about a historic herd of cattle just saved from the brink of extinction.

2. Genovese basil
A shoutout to one of our favorite varieties of basil, including sources in the New York City area.

3. Lavender instead of thyme
This really grabbed us; the Minimalist makes pasta with lavender! We have quite the thing for lavender in desserts - but in pasta (and lamb)? Must try!

4. Teenage burritos grow up
A gift of burritos from a Alex Witchel's son's friend. The best late-night teenage meal revisited.

5. Supper clubs
Not quite eating out - not quite eating in. Have you ever participated in a supper club?

Those were our favorite bits; how about yours?
