This #veganbirthdaycake was created by Chef Jenny after I asked if I could order a cake with frosting for my birthday dinner. It was a wonderful #carrotcake with #almond frosting. The cake was so moist and dense, almost brownie-like, which I love, and was packed with #carrot shreds, walnuts, raisins, cranberries and almond pieces. The spiced flavor was sublime. And the drizzled frosting was soooo almondy and was not too sweet, just right! I loved the cocoa powder decorations on the plate, which added to the festivity. Jenny said this was the first time she tried this cake, explaining the care she took in choosing her vegan ingredient substitutions. She was so excited about the result that she asked for a taste, which we loved!! We chatted all about it, and some minutes later she said that a vegan client at another table was envious of the special cake. 😅 Very reasonably priced at 10€, we took the leftover cake home to extend the celebration. #asktoveganize #carrotcakeaddict #elhierro #elhierrovegan #vegansfromcanaryislands #sinoesveganonoescomida #ifitsnotveganitsnotfood

Vegan Carrot Cake (Special Order)

When we visit Jaopira, we put our appetite in the hands of Chef Jenny, who never ceases to amaze us! This #cauliflower bread with #seaspaghetti was no exception. The tender cauliflower bread provided a warm, savory grounding to the dish, which was topped with fresh sliced #tomato, #rocket and then the sea spaghetti, which was tossed in a light, tangy vinaigrette. The symphony of flavors was exquisite! This dish is not on the menu, and is priced at 13,90€ for a more-than-healthy-sized starter. The view from the hill on which this locale sits is breathtaking - here a #reviewwithaview overlooking El Golfo just after sunset. #cauliflowerlover #elhierro #elhierrovegan #vegansfromcanaryislands #sinoesveganonoescomida #ifitsnotveganitsnotfood #seaweedlover

We were so happy to revisit this spot during our return to #elhierro island! Wanting to try something new, we ordered the #tostones as a starter. They were super crunchy, fried bliss with the typical green plantain flavor. They were served with a potato-mojo dip, such a savory compliment. I added a photo of the bell tower that is in front of the restaurant, gracing our meal with its hourly chimes. #elhierrovegan #vegansfromcanaryislands #sinoesveganonoescomida #ifitsnotveganitsnotfood

Tostones

Warm, toasty bread that has a nicely crunchy crust and oh-so-tender inside. The homemade Canarian #mojopicon (red) and #mojoverde are delicious to spread on the bread. What a great meal starter, surrounded by words of welcome, love and peace! We visisted three times while on our week-long vacation, which speaks to the deliciousness and wonderfulness of this special place in La Frontera! It is located at the top of a volcanic hill with a lovely plaza, belltower and church in front. Jenny and Cristi make you feel right at home, they are so charming, personal and passionate about what they do! The restaurant as well is a relaxed but classy terrace filled with personal touches. #elhierrovegan #elhierro #vegansfromcanaryislands #sinoesveganonoescomida #ifitsnotveganitsnotfood

Thinly sliced, tender #zucchini was the base for this #carpaccio, which was then topped with #sundriedtomatoes, #cranberries, #peanuts and #almonds. An of course, wonderful #edibleflowers!

#chocolatemousse was the surprise detail and crowning touch to the hubby's birthday dinner! Rich and creamy tasting with a chocolate cookie crumble-like topping, a true #chocoholic dream.

The mix of flavors of perfectly ripe #avocado and #portobellomushrooms was sublime! The smooth, creaminess of the avocado and the earthiness of the filling was a delight to our tastebuds. And what about the #edibleflower? The décor was festive and we learned that Cristi (part of the dynamic duo who run this spot) had made them herself. So creative! As was the bill being brought to the table in a traditional, oversized castañeta.

Our second dinner at this lovely spot was to celebrate the hubby's birthday, and we again allowed Chef Jenny to be inspired with her dishes instead of ordering from the menu. This dish consisted of a round #zucchinisquash that provided a tender shell to an explosion of veggies cooked in an Asian-inspired sauce. #redcabbage, #carrot, #garlic, #almonds, #peanuts, #yellowpeppers, #onions and #mushrooms. The garnishes of an #edibleflower, #raspberries, and crunchy grilled #asparagus rounded out the flavor profile and color pallete!
