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.
like your site and look forward to eating delicious food.
My 16 y/o adopted chinese daughter Scout loves Korean food so I’m so glad to find your blog today to try your recipes. We’re foodies and I’m sure we will love these recipes after reading people’s comments. I love that they don’t look too difficult. Just ordered your recipe books. I plan to give them as Christmas presents to her this year. Cooking is so nurturing and I’ll be glad to cook some Asian cuisine with her. I’m mostly a southern cook b/c it’s what I grew up on. I’ll update you when we cook something together soon. We love to see such positive Asian representation in the mainstream media. You need your own show on the Food Network!
I’ve been cooking your recipes for awhile now & they are fabulous!! I need a recipe for Ginseng Chicken Soup! A local health food store called Lazy Acres sells it here & it’s better than Chicken Noodle anyday! I tried making it myself & I was close but the Ginseng was super bitter, any suggestions how to take the bitter out of it? Or is it the type of Ginseng?
I follow your Insta and live your little stumpers! I also really love your recipes and wanted to ask if your cookbook has complete nutritional information in it. I’m Diabetic and have to watch my carbs and really want to attempt some of your Insta pot recipes.
I’ve also recently moved to the Midwest from warmer temps and am thoroughly enjoying your outdoor adventure posts with the doggies- our dog just saw snow for the first time ever this week!
I am not a very good at cooking. After watching your videos, you have made it look so easy to follow.I am going to try your cauliflower rice recipe and if it’s a success I will certainly keep on following your recipes. Thank you
Good afternoon! I am looking through the recipes, especially your slow cooker french onion soup, but can’t find the calorie count.
I am going to make the soup this weekend, but would love to know the calories.
Please let me know, and answer why you don’t post the nutritional information.
Thank you
Hi Sharon! Nutritional information is provided only for select recipes at this time. However, if it is not available for a specific recipe, we recommend using free online resources at your discretion (you can Google “nutritional calculator”). Hope that helps!
Oh my, we made the Thai Coconut Curry Soup the other night. What can I say….it’s absolutely delicious. Will be making it again very soon. Followed your recipe with everything except the Thai basil leaves, couldn’t find them, so just used regular basil leaves. Having visited Vietnam last year, we saw the Thai basil leaves and had them in Pho. Keep your wonderful recipes coming. They are all so Yummy!
You can order dried Thai basil on “the site that sells everything”. It’s not like eating green curry in Bangkok, but it’s better than trying to find a substitute.
I love your yummy creations!! Tonight I’m making the skillet lemon dill chicken thigh dinner – can’t wait. I follow you on IG and your sweet corgis – so much fun to watch them and stumps! Keep up the great work.
I love your recipes and really appreciate them. I am more of a watch and do. I always see your “other recipe” videos on the recipe page but never see the actual one I’m looking at, is there something I’m missing on the page? I love to watch videos and learn from them.
Congrats and I love your dogs.
Hi Sue! We only have videos for a select group of recipes at this time. I recommend checking out our YouTube channel for all available videos. Hope that helps!
New to this site. Like the ease of the recipes. Keep them coming.
I have a lot of good recipes show up on my fb feed…. from Keto to home cooking comfort food. But no other speaks to me as much as yours. Photography impeccable, recipes yummy and just fancy enough, but attainable and damn delicious. I have recommended you to all my fellow moms out there.
Good luck and keep cooking!
P.S. congrats on the engagement!
I’m from Brooklyn and then Queens, and now we’re in Northwest Arkansas. I don’t think I could move back to cold weather the way you did, to Chicago.
I just baked your almond butter granola and will be topping my yogurt with it. My fave brunch place makes their own for an acai bowl, so I’m looking forward to building my own version.
Thanks for the step by step.
I just found your site and love it!!!! Going to try a lot of recipes this week! The “PRINT’ button does not work, however.
I also thought the print button didn’t work but after you click on it and the recipe shows up, look at the tiny boxes on the upper left corner of the page–that’s where you’ll see “Print this recipe.” I just did it so I know it works. Best regards from another new fan of this delightful cooking site!
I just stumbled upon some of your recipes on Pinterest. I’m completely obsessed already. Everything looks so easy and delicious. I just ordered your books off of amazon (one out of stock?) and subscribed to your emails.
I can pretty much say from here on out I do not think I will need to look at any other websites for recipe ideas. Yours has it all and just how I like things!!
Thank you!!
Im super excited to get started on some today 🙂
where are the recipes?I cant get any recipes to try
The recipes are available here: https://damndelicious.net.
I am an adopted South Korean and recently found out that I am lactose intolerant. Are you not? Because you make so many dishes with dairy…I love your recipes but can’t make half of them it seems!
I make the chicken mushroom vegetable soup almost every week with a half can of regular coconut milk/ cream. It tasted amazing! I also add fresh chopped rosemary in the soup. It’s one of our favorites.
Love your site! I am from Middle Village Queens too….small world
What part were you from? I am obsessed with cooking/baking I would love to do what you do, just feel like it is impossible! lol
Well I am a big fan and now that I know your from Queens I like you more lol
I grew up in Fresh Meadows! 🙂
Chungah, As our house is in disarray due to a kitchen remodel, I wasn’t able to find my dog treat recipe that I had planned to make for our church fair in Framingham, MA. So I googled “recipes for dog treats” and found your website. I have printed out Peanut Butter Dog Treats and Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats and plan to make both of them to sell at the bake shop table which I co-chair. I will certainly give you credit for the recipes!
Along the way of perusing your website I found Cranberry Pecan Baked Brie which I MUST make for Thanksgiving. It sounds amazing. I have to make your website a frequent destination to check out your other recipes.
Good luck with all you cook!
PS My daughter and her boyfriend are also obsessed with Corgis. I have a 12 yr old Havanese named Cody.
Love the ease of your. Recipes
I absolutely love your recipes. I use your site more than any other to fix meals. I’ve fixed the Jalapeno Chicken, did my own recipe for a burrito that had sweet potatoes, quinoa, and less beef than usual but fixed the chimchurri sauce with it and tasted fantastic.Also fixed the Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta, really good but being lactose intolerant I’ll have to try coconut milk next time. I’m making the Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita’s right now. Can’t wait to taste it. And I love your Corgi… I love them too. The Corgi butt pic made me smile. I didn’t grow up learning how to cook and I’m so glad your recipes are so easy to access and so good. Oh yes, also I wanted to share something. In my search to cook with less sugar, I found as a replacement for brown sugar. I still haven’t got the quantities quite right but Stevia and Maple extract works great as far as replacing taste in sauces.
