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.
