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 love your site! I have an unrelated question. What is the color of your kitchen cabinets? I covet them. TIA.
Hi Kelly! I’m so sorry but I don’t recall the color of the kitchen cabinets. It’s been a few years!
Oh, this is a fantastic way to get your kids eating broccoli.
Hi, I stumbled on to your site while searching for easy dinner recipes. I am new to cooking (started last year when my baby turned 1) and basically in need of lots of easy, quick recipes for my family. Your site looks lovely. Can’t wait to try some of your recipes. And please keep us posted on restaurants/places to try in Chicago. Thank u!
Hi Chungah…I have recently found your site and I am loving it. Can’t wait to try some of the Asian inspired recipes. Can you please post a recipe for an easy japchae?
Hi Chungah!
It’s dinnertime (again) and I’m loving your website. It’s my first time looking about the “About Me” section and I see that you moved to “Chiberia” in 2019? Where it that ?? A cross between China and Siberia? Sounds pretty bad compared to LA 🙂
‘Chiberia’ refers to the extreme cold in the city of Chicago, inspired by the polar vortex. 🙂
Everytime I want a delicious recipe for something, yours is the first to pop up on every Google search, so I started following your site. I love your recipes and how yummy they are, and now I find that you have and love corgis so I am 100% in love! My corgi Totakeke loves watching me cook your delicious recipes! I intend to.kewp following for more delicious recipes and cute corgi pictures!
Thank you so much for that, Izzy! We hope you keep enjoying all of the recipes! 🙂
Hi Chungah, your book literally changed my life and I wanted to write and say thank you! In 2017, the company I was leading went out of business and I was home for 6 months. I found your book and started cooking for the family every day. I’ve tried pretty much all of them and really like that the ingredients are in the same order of the process. Every recipe was incredibly well received by the biggest skeptics…my teenagers. I’m looking forward to the day you decide to make a 2nd version of your 1st book. Thanks for what you do: )
One of my favorites! Especially with a loaf of brick oven Italian bread!
Hi! Love your website! I have made your Asian meatball recipe. Would I need to adjust it at all to make it pork and make it patties instead of meatballs?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. But if you get a chance to try it, please let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come up with a tasty recipe for Jerusalem Artichokes?
I have them growing in my garden and would like to utilize them in our meals but they have somewhat of an off-putting twang to them.
Love the recipe book. Glad I found it searching for something else. Could you let me know what kind of Whey Protein Powder you buy? I am trying to make you Mini Pumpkin Protein Donuts.
I use the one from Whole Foods. 🙂
I get compliments on recipes of yours that I make all the time. I tell everyone who loves them to follow you 🙂
Awesome, thank you!
I just want to thank you for your amazing recipes. My husband discovered your Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe and it has become his favorite dish to make. We have it 3-4 times a month.
I just found your Mongolian Beef recipe and am looking forward to trying it. I have a feeling that it will also become part of our menu rotation!
Congratulations on your success and keep up the great work!
Can you add somewhere on your page your pantry staples? The item every kitchen should have in stock?
Where do I get the prep containers. Amazon has some that are 1-2-3 compartment. What size do you use for your recipes I’m ordering book and need the containers.
Maureen, each recipe is different. Some require 1 compartment, others require 2 or 3 compartments. You can choose to use any container of your choice. Hope that helps!
Pls share your Korean porridge!! I always get chicken broth from our local Chinese restaurant when I have to be on a clear diet and didnt know if this was similar. (Those days are SO hard!!)
I just found your website and can’t wait to use your recipes. Will be buying your book as soon as I find it. All recipes sound delicious. Thank you
looks fun and delish
Thanks!
In the 1980’s I would travel to Korea (mostly Seoul) on business. Most of the traditional Koreans I interfaced with (female and male) were engineers and damn good engineers too. Anyway, my wife found your site today and showed it to me as in “look at this, I’m going to make some of these recipes”.
“Good”, I said, as many of the recipe pictures look delicious enough to eat by themselves.
First time post, Saw your site two-three months ago and I love it. I’ve made 2 dozen recipes at least so far, pear&apple crisp is in the slow cooker right now. Love your recipes they’re DELICIOUS, quick and you don’t need outlandish ingredients. Can’t wait for the crisp and new recipes.
