ABOUT CHUNGAH
I am the founder, creator, food photographer and recipe developer of Damn Delicious®, a website established in 2011. What started as a grad school hobby using a simple Tumblr account has transformed into my full-time job and business, connecting with millions of readers all over the world with recipes that are regularly featured in major media such as People, TODAY, and Bon Appetit, among many others.
Moving away from sunny Los Angeles, I now reside in the Midwest with my family and corgi crew, cheering on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Why use Damn Delicious® recipes

With thousands of recipes to choose from, I work with a team of women to test and re-test each and every single recipe to ensure that it comes out successfully in your kitchen (along with hundreds of five star reviews from fellow readers), whether you’re a seasoned chef or a first time cook in your college apartment.
- Focusing on quick and easy. Here at Damn Delicious®, we focus on quick, easy, and effortless dinners for the everyday home cook to show you that it doesn’t take much to make a homemade meal, especially during those busy weeknights between school pick-up and soccer practice.

We’re talking minimal clean up, versatile pantry staples, one pan dinners, and budget-friendly meals with bold flavors for the entire family or weekend company.

Hi Chungah,
Just stumbled across your website! So inspiring and such great everyday easy recipes that I love. As a lover of food, fitness and nutrition I find it great how you use your company to reach others in an easy and visual way. People love seeing how things are made and how they look through simple videos, pictures and not just the recipe alone.
From an inspired Canadian fan,
Holly:)
Hi, where do I find the recipe for the biscuits shown above ?
They look delicious.
Here you go, Judy! https://damndelicious.net/2018/02/23/bacon-cheddar-chive-biscuits/
Thanks so much.
Thanks for making easy recipes. I like good & easy to prepare food. So love your site.
Stumbled upon it while I was grocery shopping. I was planning to make pesto sauce & viola 5 ingredients or under !!!
Thanks very much!
Happy you found us!
Suggestion – an easy way to shred the pork if you have a Kitchen-Aid mixer, use the “beaterblade” attachment for about 1.5-2 minutes, you’ll have everything shredded in an instant!
Damned delicious is the best! I am so happy that Chungah Rhee has made a great site with tested recipes. I cannot sing anymore praises for how well each recipe turns out, from the IP or soup they are all excellent.
Thank you, David! We appreciate it.
I would like to try the pasta with mushroom and zuccchini recipe.
However I am one person. I know I can reduce all the items to a lesser amount 1 zucchini, less mushrooms etc. How about he water? Is that amount the same if you are cooking 1/4 of pasta?
Thanks would really like to try.
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.

Nicky, this may be best consulted with your veterinarian.
Hi there Chungah
I am thrilled to have stumbled across a recipe of yours on Pinterest and its has been history ever since. I have forwarded many of your recipes to my grown non-cooking daughters! And they have been encouraged to try a few and eat at home. Thanks for all you do and thank you for being on top of finding great, simple to make but tasty dishes. I am always willing to try anything you put out. Keep them coming. And Stanley says hello to Butters.
Aw, thank you for the kind words! And hi Stanley!!!
I scored high points for serving your Lemon Garlic Shrimp Kabobs last night–This will definitely be my new “go-to” recipe as they were delicious, easy to put together and present well. Thanks!
So great to hear!
I am looking forward to making dishes with your recipes. I simply love Asian cuisine…. You have a very sweet dog…
I am no longer sure if your food led me to Butters or Butters led me to your food. Doesn’t matter though, now I have both to enjoy. Love your Butters, will try out your recipes now that I have joined the blog. Well done!
I am glad i found your recipes. Loved all your recipes and i am trying out one by one. Everything is detailed and it is easy to cook. Thanks for helping us out on our daily tension on what to cook. Keep cooking
Hi there.
I’m in the process of buying a slow cocker but it’s a jungle out there.
I was wondering if you could recommend a brand/model?
We are a family of 2 and I’m situated in Denmark.
Thank you for your trouble
Regards Vivian

Butters and your recipes. Thanks Chungah!
