Joanna Moeller

Hello. My name is Joanna Moeller, and I am a passionate home cook residing in downtown Manhattan for 20+ years. I started my Instagram cooking page @spaghettiroots_nyc in April, 2023, as a way to showcase my cooking, as I initially intended for it to be more of an inspirational cooking page featuring my “No recipe, recipes.” It has truly been a wonderfully creative outlet for me.
