About
Damn Delicious® was simply a hobby, but now it’s my full-time job.
Coming from a very traditional Korean household, I was destined to be one of three things: a lawyer, a dentist or a doctor. So as a grad school hobby, I created a Tumblr account in April 2011 to document some of my favorite recipes. I had one reader, making less than $0.30 per month.
But 19 years later, Damn Delicious® has grown into something that I never thought possible. I have connected with readers all over the world, conquered so many culinary feats in my kitchen, and collaborated with brands that I always dreamed to work with.
Damn Delicious has even grown into an amazing team of women working together to produce the best possible dishes using easy-to-find ingredients and pantry staples. Together we create recipes, step-by-step tutorials, and videos that focus on quick and easy meals for the everyday home cook to show you that it really doesn’t take much to make a homemade meal completely from scratch.
Damn Delicious® is a registered trademark of Chungah Rhee.
Chungah….I have often purchased a cilantro lime shrimp appetizer at Costco for a number of years and recently I was told by a Costco employee that the item has been discontinued for the time being. I’m wondering if per chance you happen to have a similar recipe that I can make at home based on the one that Costco sold for many years.
Hope you can help… for some reason, I’m no longer able to ‘pin’ your recipes. They won’t load. I tried allowing 3rd party websites, and tried removing ad blocker. Still, I’m no longer able to pin your recipes. any suggestions?
Your recipes are amazing, fun and enjoyed by our family .
Thank you so much for sharing!!!

ps love your corgi 🙂
Recommended by a friend! Looking forward to trying your recipes! Cheers!
Hello – I learned of Damndelicious thru one recipe; Crispy Baked Spring Rolls. I’ve since lost the bookmark and can’t seem to find it thru all my digging in the current site. Will you please re-post or send me to a link where I may download?
Thank you,
Tom V,
big Damndelicious fan.
Chungah, I am a lousy cook and probably will never get any better – except when I make one of your recipes. Wonderful choices, easy ingredients, fail-safe instructions and beautiful photos to convince me to give it a try. However, I’m really commenting to compliment your black kitchen cupboards – so attractive and sophisticated. You have the kitchen my family and friends talked me out of choosing. I just know I could be a great cook in that kitchen!!
Love the few recipes of yours that I have gotten from friends and family. Now I’ve found you and will enjoy everything you have. Started with the best creamed corn 100% delicious.
OMG I can’t believe I’m seeing a real person behind Damn Delicious! I have loved SO many of your recipes throughout the years. You’ve been quite an inspiration to me. It’s fun to read your story/history about DD. Your website and Serious Eats have been long time favorites. This is so fun!!
Nice to meet you!
I luv cooking all kinds of meals and was a baker full time for 10 years.
Went to buy pears to make this, shredded almost a whole one exceeded a bit garlic, ginger, Gochujang, kept other measurements – for 1 pound of Bulgogi sliced beef from the local Korean store. Not enough liquid so added a bit of Korean BBQ sauce. Marinade tastes divine!
Sushi rice or basmati best?
Hey there
I love your cooking website and I’m looking forward to be love.
My favorite recipe my Mom Victoria makes is pasta scampi and I love watching Rachel Ray!!
I found your recipe for Turkey Gravy about 4 or 5 years ago and I have been dedicated to your site since. I would really love a subscription / ad-free site!

Thank you for your “easy cioppino” recipe. It’s alwasys a hit and now a steady birthday meal!
I have saved many recipes from Damn Delicious! They are easy to follow, use everyday ingredients and are always DELICIOUS. My Pinterest boards are bursting with these recipes. Keep it up!
I love eating but I don’t care for cooking, some of your recipes make cooking almost as fun as eating. Now for dirty dishes I’m going to design a large countertop with grates in it , you just pull a lever and Bang! all your dishes are gone.
Unfortunately I bought the ingredients before reading all of the recipe. Today is Sat and I was making for a soup sale tmo at church for our children. It says to serve immediately. I don’t have time to find another recipe and get the ingredients. Hoping this can be refrigerated overnite and taken to church tmo.
This is a relatively easy soup to prepare, but is creamy and mildly spicy. Definitely worth the time to collect the ingredients and the 1/2 hour or so to make. Yum!
used the scratch sloppy joe’s recipe as offered. all participating enjoyed the spicy, not hot, flavor. our family is trying to do less preservative in sauces. This was great and time to prepare was not too bad for folks who have a range of spices and prep bowls.
looking forward to trying more dishes. Thanks
