Video: Chef Demonstrates How to Make Fresh Mozzarella

All that was missing was a well done crust, tomatoes and basil. 

Then, the fresh mozzarella prepared at the West Islip Public Library on Tuesday evening would've made for a perfect Margherita pizza. 

Richard Kanowsky, who's the Executive Sous Chef at the Hearst Corporation building in Manhattan, provided a demonstration on how to make the favorite Italian delicacy.

• 6-8 Qt stainless steel pot
• 1 slotted spoon
• 1 colander

• Large mixing bowl
• Thermometer

Ingredients:
