AFTER THE SHAKE, THEY BAKED
Cooking in the Streets, San Francisco 1906
Featuring The Refugees’ Cookbook
The
Refugees’ Cookbook was published after the 1906 earthquake and fire
for those inhabitants of San Francisco whom during the catastrophe
lost their treasured cookbooks.
Today, 102 years later, our first publication, After The Shake, They
Baked, presents a snapshot of how the men and women of San Francisco
coped with disaster by attempting to preserve the most important
aspects of daily life. For San Franciscans then, as now, it wasn’t
enough to merely eat. As soon as possible, survivors found ways to
return to the comfort of fine dining. The Refugees’ Cookbook was one
step toward that goal. Modern lovers of the City may be heartened to
learn that, even in the worst of times, good food and good company
can triumph over frustration and adversity.
