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 rosemary
Hello,
So happy to find your DIY dog food receipt. I too have a Pembrooke Corgi we call Butters, (nickname). He has been losing weight and I took him off all synthetic dog food. Going to buy your cook books. Hope to find more dog food receives.
You are now in CA? Wow! I have always thought you were located in NYC. Since you have said you have such a small kitchen, then I am to assume you now reside in the Bay area. Is this blog your sole job? If not, what do you do? Thank you for providing us with so many delicious menu items to help round out our busy lives. Kee up the good work.
Yes, this is my full-time gig! 🙂
Hi dear! What brand of slow cooker do you use?? Sorry if you have answered this before
I use All-Clad. 🙂
I love your cookbook! I’m doing like the movie “Julia and Julia” and going through page by page making the recipes – everything’s so good, I look forward to each new dish. I’m really trying to cook more simply and healthfully for the family, so thanks for all the great recipes. 🙂
That is such a good idea. I just may have to think about the same thing. 🙂
Hi Chungah,
Oh my gosh, how can I get you (and your trusty steed) to come to sunny Florida (New Smyrna Beach) and cook for me and my Dobie for a week?! Your recipes look amazing and although I doubt I’ll do as good as job as you, I will definitely give it a go. Great job!
So glad I found this site! Cooking out of a tiny tiny college dorm kitchen on a budget this summer and have absolutely LOVED trying out your easy and delicious recipes!
Your recipes are easy to make, use everyday ingredients, and help promote the vanishing art of good ‘home cooking’. The recipes here can be made quickly, and taste great!
Glad I found your site!
Just came across your website and I printed 15 recipes to try, I love making new things! Hope they come out as awesome as yours do!
Hello! I was just wondering what kind of camera you use for your food shots? They are beautiful!
Awwwww, thanks! I am currently shooting with a Canon EOS 6D 20.2MP and a 100mm f/2.8L IS. I only use natural lighting, and I utilize Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 to edit.
CHUNGAH, I am a food and cooking researcher and your Lemon Butter Chicken is a great dish. I found your book on Amazon and I was impressed by the reviews.
Your Chicken Lettuce Wraps are the hit on YouTube along with your Korean Beef.
It is obvious that your success is the simple style & the humble kitchen much like Rachel Khoo in Paris.
Stay true to your roots & perhaps talk to us a little more on youTube.
Best Wishes from Hervey Bay Australia & Chanthaburi Thailand,
Ed
Love your recipes! Simple but delicious! Would LOVE healthy recipes cooking for two people. Its just me and my teenage daughter and although I have tried many of your recipes (love the chicken, especially) I find that I’m making way too much food just for us.
Dear Chungah,
I love your recipes and have tried lots of them! I am cooking for myself since my husband passed away 2 years ago. I was lost for awhile and didn’t feel like eating most of the time or just grabbed junk food. My husband was the cook for the two of us, and I hadn’t had to fend for myself in 32 years! But your recipes are so simple to prepare and delicious I really enjoy following your blog and trying your recipes. Last week I prepared the Zucchini Sheet pan with panko and marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese to accompany a pork roll stuffed with apricots, cranraisins,and pecans I purchased at Sprouts, it all was super good. Thank You and keep up the good work! You are inspirational!
Is that lobster in your intro? Rock out….I wondered about all that bacon grease so I will precook a bit…..first time to blog – so happy to know about you – congratulations and best wishes to you and butters
I love your recipes Chungah. My wife and I used to entertain a lot and she was a phenomenal cook. Since she passed away 3 years ago I live by myself in Toronto close to my 2 children and their families in Toronto, Canada. I still love cooking and cook for my children. I made “Cheater Pho” which was a big hit. It was even better than the real Pho!!! Thanks.
Hi Chungah, you’re recipes look amazing! Are they low cal, low carb or 21 Day Fix approved?
Awwwww, thanks, Andrea. Recipes are not low cal, low carb or 21 Day Fix approved unless specified. 🙂
Chungah, I have had to change my diet recently due to health issues. I always enjoy your recipes and they are truly simple! I cook them time and time again. Thanks again for allowing us into your kitchen!
I just saw that you have your own cookbook out. How exciting for you as well as me since I just purchased it and cannot wait until it arrives. You make fabulous dishes that are, well….DAMN DELICIOUS!
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you !!
You are just what I’ve been looking for so excited to have found your blog…. love the meal prep ideas xoxo
