French Book Club Dinner


With my book club we are reading:
Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes
by Elizabeth Bard

So one of the girls suggested we get together
for dinner instead of just meeting.
Sounded like a great idea to me.
 
Then I volunteered to cook.
Which, between you and me
and no one else - example Hubby,
who currently cooks most meals and every day,
I like to cook
occasionally.
And French!, well count me in.
 
SOOOO I'm cooking "le dîner" (dinner) for
six!
l'entrée - appetizers
la soupe - soup
le plat principal - main course
 le fromage - cheese
 la salade - salad
le dessert - DESSERT!!!!
ALL
pas la farine = WITH NO FLOUR!
 Yes, one of mon amies eats gluten free.

So this is where your help is desperately needed.
I'm planning: almond crusted pork loin for the main meat 
and I will have a field salad with fresh herbs and french vinaigrette.

Aside from that,
I'm lost . . .
So what is a girl to do but turn to her besties, right?

Please, 
Please, 
Please,
Let me know if you have some ideas/or recipes for me.

Lots of love and appreciation.
