Influenced by a range of schools of architecture, Eixample Barcelona was designed in a grid pattern with long streets, wide avenues, and rounded street corners. Despite being in the center of a thriving European metropolis, the district provides improved living conditions for inhabitants including extensive sun light, improved ventilation, and more open green space for public use. And of course, the result from the grid-like structure is astounding from above:

Balsamic Roasted Potatoes & Tomatoes One side-dish to rule them all. Why stick to simple roasted potatoes when you can add so much more color and flavour? I’m a sucker for roasted potatoes. But combine them with sweet roasted cherry tomatoes and a splash of balsamic vinegar and you have my heart forever. This is a really simple dish that you put together in mere minutes and the oven will do the rest for you. Before someone asks: the gorgeous, trendy casserole with matching table protector comes from my friends at Fonq! Ingredients: 1 1/2 pound pommes Parisienne 2 small red onions 1 large garlic clove (or 2 medium) 9 oz cherry tomatoes 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1,5 tbsp balsamic vinegar few sprigs thyme coarse sea-salt black pepper Directions: I served these with codfish and didn’t want any flavours to clash, so I stuck to 1 1/2 tbsp balsamic. Let’s start with a ‘marinade’ that will coat the potatoes and tomatoes. Peel the onions and cut a 1/2” slice from one of the onions. Add the garlic and about 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves.
