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.

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.
I love your recipes. Just made the sheet pan Fajitas. Loved them. I bought one of your cookbooks through Amazon. Love your instant pot recipes. Keep cooking and sharing. Your my favourite online chef!!
I also had a corgi. Best dogs ever, so smart.
Just found you on Pinterest and now I am a fan of your IG….your dogs are the best and make me laugh out loud! Sitting here making a grocery list so I can actually return back to that mysterious land otherwise known as my kitchen 🙂 Can’t wait to try your fabulous recipes! Thanks for sharing!
I am so happy that I pinned on of your chicken recipes last week and that made me explore your blog!! bookmarked so many nice appetisers and recipes and can not wait to try your recipes now. Your recipes look so simple and the food looks so delicious! so happy to have stumbled upon your blog.
Hi Chungah!
I follow you on instagram and I’m such a fan of your recipes and have tried a few of them and loved every single one that I’ve tried. So did my family!!! I also love seeing updates on your dogs on instagram stories. They are really cute. Congrats on the new pup.
I’ll be heading to Chicago at the end of the month with some girlfriends and was wondering if you would recommend restaurants that we NEED to try. We would love your input!
Absolutely! Here are some of my favorites:
Doughnut Vault
Small Cheval or Au Cheval
Portillo’s
Bub City
Barrio
Siena Tavern
Little Goat Diner
Bavette’s Bar & Boeuf
Have an amazing trip, Christina!
Love your recipes and I love Corgis! I follow you on Instagram and you and Butters are my favs! When do we get to see new puppy?

Hi Chungah,
I laughed out loud when I read “Butters likes to roll in poo”. What a shitty thing to do!
Love your recipes and your photos are great!
I love your recipes. I don’t remember how I learned about you. I went to Korea on mission trip years ago but they were the most hospitable people I have ever meant. I will share your website with my 13 year old granddaughter who just learning to cook.
I was signed up under bkclarke@airmail.net but I resigned up under my new email beverlyclarke@yahoo.com.
Keep up the good work.

I want to try your Restaurant style Mexican Rice recipe. Can I use Jasmine rice instead of Basmati, and will I have to change the amount of liquid? Usually Jasmine rice requires twice the amount of liquid as rice.
Also, can this dish be made ahead and warmed?
Yes, you can reheat and substitute jasmine rice and add as much water as you desire. 🙂
I really like your site. As a single retired mother of three its been hard to figure out how to cook for 1. I love your food so ive kinda bribed my son n his gf to trade some of my prepped meals for things I need so I don’t eat same thing all week Luv how u simplify it and always add alcohol at the end! Im hooked and sharing! I like ur style! I luv the Korean touch..my fave.
Nyoka, I live by myself too. These recipes are delicious. I make it like it says, then divide the meal into four (or six, or whatever) portions, freeze two, put one in the refrigerator for day after tomorrow, and eat one for dinner. Yum! Delicious dinners at the touch of a microwave button!

I will try the shrimp with garlic!
Going to try and make your Chinese Chicken Salad tonight
Your recipes look great! Can’t wait to try the Shrimp In Garlic Sauce! I was a good cook myself, but burned out after years of cooking! You have inspired me to get into cooking again! My husband will be thrilled! Thank you sooo much!
Stumbled upon your Easy Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry by accident . Made it twice now – it is so delicious!! So now I am hooked on your website. Can’t wait to try more. Also l
LOVE your Corgi! Always wanted one.
You had me at corgi! But I love your recipes and will be back often to check things out!

I’ve been having the best time trying new recipes ever since I stumbled upon your blog. The green curry soup was TO DIE FOR. I can’t wait to make it for my parents next time I visit. Thank you! 🙂
Chungah, When I printed off the recipe for your Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli, I cropped off the bottom couple of lines which went onto a second page and then realized your “Damn Delicious” was not on my copy. As a marketer, I suggest adding it at the top, under the recipe title, at the beginning of the “yield, etc” line. Colleen
