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 saw photos of you and your husband on the yanni designs instagram earlier while I was scoping them out before our appointment and I knew you looked familiar when I was searching for a scallop recipe and landed on your page. What an odd coincidence- never saw you before today and now it’s been twice. Looking forward to trying some of your recipes!
I love your website, all of the recipes I have tried have been excellent! Congratulations, June 20 is my anniversary date – 39 years ago. It is a lucky day!
I love your website, your recipes and your adorable corgis! I am so glad that I stumbled onto this site. Please don’t ever stop doing what you are doing! Hugs you you and your fur babies!
Hi Chungah. I am a self taught cook and dog lover also. I was searching for a recipe for beef stroganoff to use up some sour cream and stumbled upon your site. I then scoured your recipe box until 3 am. I made the dish the next day and I must say it was Damn delicious! I look forward to making more meals and can’t wait until we can share them with friends post Covid of course.
Hello from Vancouver Canada! Stumbled upon your site looking for a quick delicious nutritious family recipe. Just had to comment that my daughter and I fell in love with your dogs and their names. I had to call my daughter over to see right away. Thoroughly melted our hearts to scroll to the end to see the cake topper! Congratulations and thanks for the delightful posts. Now onto cooking! Your recipes look amazing as we love fresh vegetables. Have a great day and hello to Butters and Cartman!
We’re so glad we found you! I am a mum who, with my sweet husband, adopted two beautiful children from South Korea. Our special family celebrates all-things Korean – including upbeat people like you (okay, BTS too!) and we love sharing your journey! Keep those recipes coming!
Love your site! Great simple recipes, with straight to the point instructions. Thank you for taking the what to make…” question out of my evenings! ❤️
Look forward to your recipes.
Beautiful story – your website, recipes look great and I love your story. I can’t wait to try your scallops tonight. Thank you for your positivity and ray of sunshine in this unusual summer.
Ahhhhh OMG the corgis are too fricken cute and your photography is amazing
Hi Chungah! I am a Covid Cook (meaning Covid has given me an 3 hours of commuting back and I now learning to cook :)) and want to make the garlic lemon chicken thighs on the grill! I can do the marinade and everything but sadly, I am a newby with grilling! Can you tell me how long I cook them for on the grill? We have a super big brand new one so it is amazing to cook ok!!
Thank you so much!

Congrats I bought some of your wedding favors at the thrift store today!! Lol
Congratulations on your wedding! Everyone looked fabulous
I’ve been missing your Instagram posts lately and was wondering ( and hoping) all was ok with you, Ben and the puppers?!
During Covid I’ve been cooking up a storm with recipes from your cookbook and emails. Love everything I’ve made and bought a copy of your book for my sister….she loves it too!
Stay safe and I look forward to more great recipes!
Thank you!
also, have you ever grown your own mushrooms? it is super easy and tastes wonderful. i used to be able to buy a box all ready to go but i have also bought packets of the internet. i also remember a greeting card with mushroom spores in it. the fancy mushrooms. you just need a dark area. it is so cool and fulfilling to check on it and come away with handfuls of little gems. I have even gotten a box going with the dirt and white stuff (so scientific) that you can find at the bottom of commercially bought mushroom containers.
your just adorable ! found you on a google search for marinated mushrooms and have bookmarked you to explore your other recipes. thanks for sharing some of your personal stuff. the wedding looked great! it seems your a happy, positive person and boy do we need that now. keep on cooking and thank you.
hi. i didn’t know there’d be another chungah. my korean name is yun chung ah and i hated my name growing up. kids would call me chung chung chicken so i changed it to cassie. but anyway, i found your zucchini recipes and will give them a try. you don’t have the zucchini pancakes recipe though. you should give them a try. congrats on your nuptials. i’m also in chicago.
Hi There,
I go to the blog daily and love your recipes but often don’t make a lot of them because there are no videos to accompany them. Most food blogs have the videos of the recipe being done which makes it super helpful for the person making something for the first time.
I love the recipes and would just love to see the videos too!
Thank you for making such wonderful looking food!
Hi Patty!
We have videos for only select recipes at this time. It is hard to produce them with our team during COVID-19 as we are all safely quarantining. We hope to produce more videos when it is safe to do so.
Stay safe!
A stunning couple Great recipes are just a click away.
Stay safe young lovers & enjoy marital bliss
I just wanted to let you know that I love, love, love your recipes!!!! Also, CONGRATULATIONS on the wedding!! Such a beautiful bride!! The four of you make a beautiful family!!! My husband and I have been married for 27 years and our kids are 2 Jack Russell’s, a yorkie mix (rescued living in the woods behind my husband’s work), a chihuahua that is beautiful little beast and a chihuahua/dachshund (rescued hiding under a semi-trailer in my husband’s work parking lot, in the middle of a storm, scared and hungry)! We enjoy watching Butters and Cartman every day, so thank you!
Congratulations on your wedding! I first stumbled on your website yesterday (7/22/20), when my cell battery died and I asked my 14 y.o. son to look up a recipe for beef Stroganoff, and text it to me for later after my battery charged. He randomly found your Stroganoff recipe at damndelicious, and I made it last night—mmm…mmm…good! My wife loves it. I just had a bowl of leftover Stroganoff just now (7/23/20)—so good! I made it because I knew my wife was going to have a difficult and emotionally taxing zoom meeting at work, and I wanted her to have some “comfort food” for dinner (we both grew up in the 1970s eating Stroganoff maybe once a month)–and I know your recipe made her feel better. I will pass your recipe on to my 6 sisters, who I am sure will love it too. Thanks!
