SaltGeek Workshop & Cooking Demo with Cornish Sea Salt

A Masterclass in Flavour Application

The day is structured to be an insightful blend of culinary science, application, and live demonstration:

• The Science of Salt & Global Profiling: Join our founder, the original "SaltGeek," Philip Tanswell, for an in-depth workshop. We will delve into the distinct mineral composition, ethical harvesting process, and specific flavour profiles that define Cornish Sea Salt. Crucially, we’ll also be benchmarking salts from around the world and discussing the optimal uses of differing salt types across various cuisines and cooking techniques—from finishing flakes to brine construction.
• Live Culinary Showcase: We are thrilled to welcome Westminster Kingsway College alumnus Henry Herbert, AKA The Bitcoin Chef, to the stage. Henry will be showcasing his exceptional culinary skills with a live demonstration, applying the principles discussed in the masterclass to practical, high-end dishes.

Henry Herbert – The Bitcoin Chef
Henry Herbert is Sales Director at Hobbs House Bakery, a fifth-generation family bakery supplying independent retailers, hospitality businesses and farm shops across the UK. An ex-student of Westminster Kingsway College, Henry went on to co-present Channel 4’s The Fabulous Baker Brothers before returning to the family business. Today, as The Bitcoin Chef, he combines his passion for food, community and innovation — exploring how baking, conversation and sound money can help shape a better future.

Networking & Logistics

To conclude the day, guests will be invited to a light lunch provided courtesy of Westminster Kingsway College, offering a valuable networking opportunity. For those interested, a tour of the professional training kitchens will also be available after lunch.

Due to the intimate nature of this masterclass and the capacity of the college’s facilities, places are strictly limited.

We look forward to sharing this masterclass in culinary excellence with you.
