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.
Damn Delicious® is a registered trademark of Chungah Rhee.
Love the bio and the wedding story. I’m sending a link to your site to my wonderful Korean-American daughter-in-law.
I’m making your risotto with mushrooms tonight.
Thanks for sharing wedding pictures…they’re great “pick me up” during these trying times of isolation and your recipes. Will be preparing your instant pot lemon chicken thighs tonight. Recently retired with expectation that I would share dinner preparation with my wife after rarely (really never) cooking during my workaday life (opted for clean up instead). Try to use instant pot as it limits the clean up to one container plus peripherals for spices, etc. Wife insists on side dishes to go with the “pot” so must learn to multitask after years of resistance, e.g., please don’t ask me to fix the toilet while I’m mowing the yard.
Love the simplicity and inspiration to transform these recipes into GF versions of dairy-free. I love how you get straight to the recipe!!
All I can say is…..if you didn’t marry this gorgeous woman…..I WOULD have asked her myself !
I love you and your recipes so much Chungah! Congratulations on your wedding! I have been trying your recipes for 3years. Thank you for the easy step by step instructions and delicious recipes.
Every time I look for a recipe, I find myself here on your site. You consistently deliver just what you promise: quick and easy meals that we can make from scratch.
Congratulations on your success here and on your wedding. Thanks for all you do for the home cook!
I’ve just saved yet another one of your recipes to my “must make again” pinterest board, and wanted to say thank you for sharing your incredible recipes! My boyfriend is a picky eater, and I’ve been thrilled that everything I’ve made from your site he’s raved about.
THANK YOU!!
Just found your blog! We just eloped June 20, 2020, too – we were supposed to be in Turks & Caicos. Congrats to you both – I am making Carnitas for dinner tonight!
I have discovered a page where I can try different thing cooking from across a wide spectrum. I am currently letting the yeast rise for the Rosemary bread, I just hope that it comes out half as good as your picture. I am also very delighted to see alot of Korean recipes as I spent 1 year (1981-1982) in Korea with the US Army. It was my first time to have spicy food and I loved going to the Ville and having Mamason cook. Thanks for the website.
Congratulations on your recent wedding!!
I have been trying your recipes for a few years now- ever since I got the guts to actually start cooking. Your recipes have always been excellent and helped me develop a love for cooking and trying out new recipes. It’s been a hobby that helped take off some stress during medical school and residency. Thanks for putting all the time in that you do- your followers appreciate it! And your insta game is on point! Food pics + corgis — what could be better !? 🙂
I teach (well, now they are online programs I do by myself) children, teens and sometimes adults cooking techniques/ recipes at a library in Little Rock, AR. (HRC Children’s Library and Learning Center if you want to look it up). I always know that your recipes will be wonderful. This week I used your avocado deviled eggs and read Green Eggs and Ham for the Little Kids in the Kitchen, and then used your Baked Zucchini Fries for my Garden to Kitchen program (where we use produce from our Teaching Garden and cook with it). In the past I used several of your recipes for an adult meal prep program we did, and your Asian chicken marinade is my go-to at home when my husband is busy (He’s the better cook. I follow recipes, he creates.) I was looking up your name for credits on our FB page, and I saw you just got married. CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU for your wonderful recipes.
Congratulations Chungah and Ben! Wishing you decades of love and happiness!
