...apple-pie easy as it looks. Extol "a million acts of kindness" (or a thousand points of light), and you can end up sounding like a mush head, too grateful for white-haired docents and aging hippies adopting highways.

Not cooking techniques, mind you, but food. Batali's books and shows don't offer the most complicated recipes (though it will take you several hours to succeed with the gnocchi in his recent book Holiday Food).
