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.

  6. I’ve been looking at and cooking your recipes for years but never read your story until today! What a great story and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I’ve made cookbooks for some young family members and friends who were getting married and always include a recipe for Family Pie at the very beginning. I’m sure you’re familiar with it but here goes anyway lol.
    One handful of forgiveness
    One heaping cupful of love
    ONe lb. of unselfishness
    mix together smoothly with complete faith in God
    Add: Two cups of wisdom
    One cup of good nature for flavor
    Sprinkle generously with thoughtfulness
    This makes a wonderful family pie.
    One complete pie will feed any size family for years to come.

  7. Dear Chungah,
    Loved reading your bio – and love your short (or are they height challlenged) furry children. Congratulations on your proposed date to get married.
    But moving to Chicago – you must really love him? chuckle, chuckle!

    Your recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Shish Kabobs has no reviews on your blog, but I am marinating my chicken now to prepare the Shish Kabaobs – and plan to grill them tonight – so I may be back to write my review of your recipe.

    Love to cook so will be interested in more of your creations.
    Thanks
    Dave

  8. do you have any recipes for dogs with early kidney stage disease?

  9. I made your chicken chowder and it was super great!!!! Wow!!!! Easy to do and the only add I made was I added canned corn.  Just gave it a little extra.  Next time I think I will add bacon crumbles on the top of the chowder .  But no chanes are really necessary – great chowder and easy to do.

  10. You’re the best cook around..,,. And I have been around! Keep those recipes coming and enjoy everyday with that cute fiancé and those precious pups.

  11. Hi…2 questions…
    1. What is that first cheesy looking yummy dish on your “About” page??
    2. What color grout did you use on your subway tile?

  12. Just found your site, have been making your Baked Parmesan Zucchini and will now find other recipes here to inspire me. Very nicely done!! Congratulations on a great site.

  13. Love to cook and would love to follow your culinary experience.

  14. I am simply fascinated by Lady “Chungah Rhee”!

  15. Simply Charming!

  16. Dear Ms Rhee

    I have just purchased a copy of your meal prep cookbook. I love the look of the recipes but I have a problem. The first one to catch my eye for a better look was the miso salmon tray bake. Yum, I thought, then I looked at the nutritionals. Hmm, I thought… you specify a 6oz salmon fillet per portion yet give calorie count for whole meal (one portion) of 253 calories. How can the be? Salmon provides approx. 55 cals per oz, which would give a count of 330cals just for the salmon, before we even reach for the honey etc.

    Now I’m wondering about the nutritionals quoted for all the other recipes. I hope it’s a pesky typo, but now (I too am a type A person, and Scottish to boot = type AA) I shall have to check them all. Boo. Still gorgeous recipes though! I adore your dogs. Have a superb wedding day.

    • Yve, the nutritional information is correct and has been triple checked. Please note that different types of salmon have different amounts of calories. For example, 6 ounces of king (chinook) salmon contains 304 calories, coho (silver) salmon contains 248 calories, and pink (humpy) contains 197 calories.

  17. We love your recipes!  We began following you on Instagram and now my Hubby and I must have our daily dose of Butters & Cartman. Wishing you all the best with your upcoming nuptials and prayers for continued blessings for you and your family.

  18. Charming About page . . . love your recipes too. All best wishes for a wonderful life together with Ben and the Corgis.

  19. I just found your site, Chicken Tacos-yum!
    And just wanted to say thanks, and you had me at Butters. Then, there was Cartman!!! Too cute! 
    Thanks for sharing, will no doubt be a fan, and look forward to your recipes!

  20. I love following you!!!! I am hooked on Korean Dramas and see such great food on these series! So glad I will be able to try some recipies from your site. Congratualtions on your upcoming wedding!
