Interesting how you start talking about a subject, and you see pieces about 
it:

I don't think most of us are as distant from cooking as the audience
the piece addresses, but the book looks to be interesting. I've always
used butter, rather than margarine, but for making pies and other
pastry it's hard to come by lard if you don't butcher your own pigs
(or even have one butchered for you). Perhaps I should inquire at the
local butcher shops.
