Hi Anja,

Have a look at this web site:

http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/

It's a collection of images from old cookbooks, and could give you many
ideas, when you can stop laughing. Be sure to look through the Potpourri
section labelled "Start from the Beginning" in the lower right, but you
can't go wrong starting anywhere on the page.

Many of the pictures are perhaps from an earlier period than the 1960-70s,
but your friends probably won't remember that time perfectly either--I know
I don't and I was there!

Mark.
