Shrimp with Romesco Sauce
You can steam, grill, boil or broil the shrimp or, even easier, buy them already cooked. Saffron rice and greens mixed with some olives, red onion slices and a garlicky olive oil dressing are perfect side dishes. Sliced oranges sprinkled with a bit of sweet Sherry and paired with some crisp sugar cookies would round out the Spanish-inspired menu.
Chilled Pea and Tarragon Soup
Cold pea soup is a classic spring starter for a sophisticated English dinner. While mint is the time-honored herb of choice, tarragon makes for an appealing change.
Mixed Berry and Pecan Shortcakes
It's so easy to make these processor-quick biscuits ahead if you like. Then reheat, split and fill them with ice cream and berries just before serving.
Pasta and Garbanzo Bean Soup
Orzo--the small rice-shaped pasta used here--is available at Italian markets and most supermarkets.

Chicken Sates with Peanut Curry Sauce
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
Cod with Miso Glaze and Wasabi Mashed Potatoes
At the restaurant, they use black cod, also known as sablefish. We call for more readily available white cod fillets.
