F O O D & D R I N K Discovering the seasons LICHFIELD CHEF JACK DUBBERLEY, OF DUBBERLEY DELICIOUS, TAKES A LOOK AT SOME OF THE BEST SEASONAL PRODUCE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW - AND HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF NATURE’S LARDER Since opening his unique fine dining chef ’s table in Lichfield back in May 2021, Jack Dubberley has cemented his place as one of the city’s top foodie finds. Offering bespoke fine dining menus from his tiny space in a cabin at The Plant Plot garden centre, Jack’s not-a-restaurant - Dubberley Delicious - has earned rave reviews for its innovative approach to fine dining. Jack has begun <strong>2023</strong> with the exciting announcement that he is moving his eponymous chef ’s table experience into Lichfield city centre - with the new restaurant due to open in spring. The larger space, in the heart of Lichfield on Tamworth Street, will remain a private fine dining experience, but will allow Jack to cater for larger parties than his current maximum of ten. Key to Jack’s success has been his passion for produce, using only the finest in-season ingredients - including many he has foraged himself. Preserving foraged ingredients for yearround use is particularly important to Jack - with techniques including pickling, fermenting and turning produce into oils all ways in which Jack gets the most from his bounty. Jack says: “One of my favourite chefs Tommy Banks talks about ‘the hunger gap’, which is the difficult KOHLRABI IS A GREAT PARTNER TO WHITE FISH, SUCH AS THIS TURBOT LICHFIELD CHEF JACK DUBBERLEY time early in the year when very little fresh produce can be harvested in the UK. “To get through this, as we go through the year and ingredients come into season we can make the most of them by preserving things for later use. It’s particularly useful when you get to this time of year and there’s not so much fresh, seasonal produce around.” The first big target in Jack’s foraging calendar is wild garlic, which usually comes into season in February - weather permitting. There are plenty of good garlic foraging spots around Lichfield, where the plant grows in abundance. One of Jack’s signature dishes is his wild garlic popcorn, which he serves year-round - meaning he needs to stock up and preserve as much wild garlic as he can when the time comes. “I have to make around 40 to 50 litres of 34 www.jaimemagazine.com
