About Damn Delicious®
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 14 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 individuals working together to create the best possible recipes. 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.

I absolutely love your story!!! I’ve been following for a while and have cooked a few of your recipes myself. I share your blog and social media every chance I get. Wishing you continued success moving forward!!!
Great Website. Love your recipes.
After being sent countless links to your recipes from friends, I borrowed your cookbook from the library. WOW! Usually there is just a recipe or two that grabs my attention but the whole book is one mouth-watering recipe after another. I’ve already ordered a copy because I know I’m not going to be able to try each recipe I’m interested in before I need to give the book back to the library!
What a great story! I found your site because I was looking for a Ribeye steak recipe, which was deliciuos! I love all your recipes I saw and can’t wait to try them. I came to the US from the Netherland to marry my husband, a US soldier I met in Germany and I had no clue how to cook, but I had to learn and it soon became fun and my new hobby after many ruined dinners I even started my own IG and maybe it will become more than just some post, your story inspired me
Found you via The Washington Post’s Voraciously column. My kind of cook. Thanks for great recipes. Love tweaking recipes and yours provide a damn delicious foundation to work from.
Just made your Chicken Tikka Masala and as a rookie cook, you made me look really good. It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions and for all you do!
Yr recipes are knockouts just like U.
Congratulations on your wedding, nothing can stop you guys from being happy! Really enjoying your recipe!
Congratulations to you both on your wedding. Just read this now about you and your husband, so belated wishes from Rhode Island.
Love your recipes and have made many of them. Stay well and continue to be inspired.
I was looking for Asian recipes since we are eating 99% at home now. I ran across your blog and love the recipes and am adding them to my list and recipe binder. Congratulations on your wedding, I am so glad you didn’t let all the stuff of this year put the wedding on hold indefinitely. Your dogs are adorable as are the two of you. God bless on many years to come.
I love your blog! They saved me many nights of figuring what to cook for two hungry teenagers
Congratulations on your marriage despite covid. Wish you lots of happiness.
Love the two corgis too.
We love all of your recipe’s keep up the good work.
I came for the beef stew recipe and found this blog. Very cool and congratulations! I’m on the email list and a longtime recipe user and lurker. Thanks for all your hard work, your recipes are always very good.
Hello Chungah, I just discovered your site today – looking for a sate recipe (fab recipe BTW). I’m so sorry to read that your wedding had to be cut back because of Covid; with your simple ceremony you looked so beautiful and I loved your dress. I think your site is excellent and I’m looking forward to perusing all your wonderful recipes. Much love to you and Ben and to Butters & Cartman. Stay safe. xx
You know what’s important, not a fancy expensive ceremony but just close friends and of course, the pups! Best of luck!
Hi Chungah,
I just discovered your site whilst of all things looking for a healthy dog recipe. I already make meals for my dog but was looking for something different.
We just had devasting news from our vet. Our miniature schnauzer was unwell and had to have some blood tests. We have just been told that Oscar has diabetes. So I was looking for something super healthy and something that won’t upset his diabetes.
Your Damm Delicious page looks wonderful and I plan to try these yummy human meals.
Hi Chungah!
Discovered your site last night when we made the one pan lemon herb salmon! HOLY CRAP! it was SOOOOO gooood! Thanks for sharing this and I love your background story. I’m from Queens too and also had a stint in CA!
Congrats on the wedding and way to adapt! Looking forward to following more of your work. 🙂
Best
I made one of your recipes last night for dinner and tried another one tonight because it was so good!!! You’re recipes I think will help we make really good food at home. I found your website through Pinterest! Thank you Chungah! I can’t wait to try another one of your recipes!
Congratulations! Best wishes!
We love the sesame chicken recipe!
Glad to have you in my life Chungah! I am a seasoned cook who loves to try new recipes. I am trying to become a better Asian food technician. I spent many years of my life living in Chicago and San Francisco where I became spoiled rotten on great ethnic food. It is my ambition in life to become more skilled in cooking foods outside of my comfort zone of French, Italian and Southern cuisine. I rely on your website for well tested, delicious meals for those days where I just can’t seem to come up with something on my own. I swear when I die, my tombstone will read “Here lies Liz Casey….. What the Hell’s for Dinner?” I cook three meals a day, 7 days a week these days, with maybe an occassional meal delivered. I can’t wait to go out again for a dinner out…. but until I can do that, I will keep coming back to your site. Some of your recipes have become mainstays in my home, which is saying something considering I married a man who doesn’t want to eat the same meal twice in 6 months…… Keep doing what you are doing, ’cause you are doing it very well. Best Regards from the great state of Idaho! Say hi to my wonderful Chi-town!!! My alma mater is Columbia College right down in the South Loop. Miss everything there is about that place, even the winters;-). Oh, and congrats on your recent nuptials! All the best to you!!
