Last night we were joined by the lovely Easy Cooking with Aneta / 5 Element Cooking World

If you’re new to the 5 Element Cooking Method, it’s a beautiful approach rooted in Chinese medicine that teaches you how to combine all five elements in every dish, creating perfectly balanced flavours.

Cooking and eating with the seasons, the method supports harmony in the body and helps restore balance (Yin & Yang).

Each element corresponds to a flavour:
🌱 Earth – Sweet
🔥 Fire – Bitter
💧 Water – Salty
🌳 Wood – Sour
⚙️ Metal – Pungent

The pasta-making session itself was pure joy, calming, hands-on, and surprisingly easy. So therapeutic, so fun, and honestly… incredibly satisfying.

No fancy pasta machines needed either, just a pair of hands, a good silicone mat, and a rolling pin.

Simple, soulful cooking at its best 🤍

A potluck is a casual group meal where everyone brings a dish to share.
Instead of one person cooking everything, each person brings something, like starters, drinks, a main dish, or dessert.

When everyone arrives, all the food is put together on a table, and people can try a bit of everything.

It’s an easy, affordable, and fun way to have a big meal with friends, because:

~ Everyone shares the cost and effort

~ You get lots of different foods

~ It’s social and relaxed

Basically: you bring food, your friends bring food, and together you make a big shared meal.

Let me introduce you to Fran,

Fran is also studying Creative Events Management at Falmouth University, and she’s our brilliant Events Manager here at The Shared Table Society.

Fran’s buzzing to bring some fresh, food-fuelled ideas to life and host events that are all about good eats and great company.

Fran’s a total van-life girl, she's always ready to hit the road for a foodie adventure. She loves exploring places like France and Spain, soaking up the culture (and the cuisine, of course 🍷🥐🍊). When she’s not planning her next trip, you’ll probably find her sea swimming at Gylly, bouldering or vintage shopping, or out in nature on a long walk.

She’s so excited to be part of the committee, dreaming up ways to bring people together through food, and she can’t wait to swap recipes (and stories) at our potluck nights.

Come and meet Fran at our soft launch on Thursday, 11th December, details coming soon..

I’d love for you to meet Dougie,

Like all of our committee members, Dougie is studying Creative Events Management Falmouth University.
He’s also the guy who’s going to bring all the fun drinking games to social nights.

Dougie has always had a passion for cocktails, wine, beer, basically anything that goes in a glass 🍸🍻. He’s even created his own cocktail recipes and had one specially made for him at The Savoy, London.

Dougie's the mastermind behind ‘Flat Food Fridays,’ making sure his halls are well-fed and well-hydrated.

At just 19, he’s already done a ton of exciting stuff. As an air cadet, he’s flown planes, ridden in helicopters, and met some pretty notable people ✈️. He’s also a keen hockey player, part of the CSM Hockey team 💙💛, but has been playing since he was 9.
He's a big vinyl guy, but he’s just as happy out exploring; whether it’s a 60k adventure through North Wales, camping in a random field 🏕️🏞️ or growing a moustache & raising funds for Movember UK.

Dougie can’t wait to meet you all at the pub and on Thursday 11th December at our soft launch.

Hi, I’m Taor (pronounced Tay-or) 🐆♥️

I’m a mature student at Falmouth University, studying Creative Events Management, and the Chair of The Shared Table Society.

The idea for the society grew from my work running Potluck Cornwall. I wanted to bring that same sense of community, connection, and good food to student life here at Falmouth.

My background is in design and print management, marketing, and social media content creation, and I’m also a face painter and glitter tattooist, so creativity is a big part of everything I do.

I’m a Mom, an old skool garage girl at heart, I play golf, a bit of a bird geek & I'm happiest when I’m out in nature. At 40, returning to study has been a wonderful new chapter, and I’m passionate about creating spaces where people can come together, share food, and feel connected.

I can’t wait to meet you all and share my love for food, community spirit and togetherness, all while helping tackle loneliness one shared meal at a time.

Let’s make something special together at
The Shared Table Society, event details dropping soon for our soft launch on Thursday 11th December, so save the date, bring a friend and join us 🎄

We get it, not everyone’s a fan of mushrooms.
The texture, the earthy flavour, it can be a love-it-or-hate-it situation. But hear us out;

Mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, lion's main and enoki are nutrient powerhouses.
They’re packed with:
✨ B vitamins for energy
💪 Antioxidants for immunity
🌱 Plant-based protein & fibre
🧠 Compounds that support brain and gut health - lion’s mane especially for memory and focus.

Plus, they add umami depth to dishes, perfect for soups, stir-fries, and even pasta sauces.

So next time you walk past those funky fungi, maybe give them another chance. Your body (and your taste buds) might just thank you 😉

And if you’re ever in need of a wholesome Saturday morning out, jump in a friend’s car and head over to Tregew Food Barn, grab a coffee, explore the stalls, and maybe pick up some fresh local mushrooms from our friends at Fal Fungi 🍄
