If you missed attending Monday's Gothamist-Slice Pizza Party at Fornino, you missed a great event as well as a mozzarella making demonstration. Lucky for all of us, there's video of the demo by chef/owner Michael Ayoub thanks to Slice and Matty. Essentially, you take milk curds, have them sliced up, pour water onto them, and then make the resulting mass of cheese nice and smooth, but we're over simplifying. The process in the video is much more clear.
And after you've gone and made your mozzarella, you can cut it up in little tasty pieces and even wrap them in prosciutto for a really tasty snack (no matter how full you are).

Hey Gothamist Staff...do your arms ever get tired from patting yourselves on the back ?
We heard you the first 76 times about this pizza party. What, are you in the 8th grade ?
Jeez Louise....
i count three tops.
but we like the exercise.
That's not making mozzarella--that's forming it, and it's cheating. It's analogous to opening a tube of Grands and telling everyone you made biscuits from scratch.
It's not that hard to really make mozzarella--you need milk, citric acid, Junket tablets, and a microwave. You can find the directions at leeners.com.
