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.

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,

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
Hello Chungah,
Came across your blog purely by chance and feel compelled to say, “Although you have SOOOOOOO many amazing recipes…YOU, by far, are the MOST “Damn Delicious” thing here!!!! Such a BEAUTIFUL and YUMMY Woman…Stunning facial features, an intoxicating smile and a gorgeous little body 🙂
What an incredibly creepy comment ew.
I found this site by accident when I wanted to compare a recipe I had for Potstickers. I was amazed at the recipes you had. I have a busy schedule but our family prefer home-cooked meals. It was a headache planning ahead , so the days became predictable and boring. NOT ANYMORE. I surprise the family with your quick and easy dishes and they are a hit every time.SO DELICIOUS, but I give you the credit . Thanks Chungah keep up the good work
This blog is such an inspiration to other food bloggers like me. Your pix are phenomenal and so are your dishes! I like your wide variety of food selection and how it encourages people to cook.
I’ve been reading your recipes and loving the results for years! The simplicity is so great and always results in some Damn Delicious food! Keep on doing what you’re doing, you’re rocking it! Oh, and your dogs are Damn Adorable!
Where can I find that recipe for that chicken, 4th picture down. Also lol at “Butters”, that’s my favorite South Park character.
It’s part of my cookbook! 🙂
Available on Amazon.com here.
Who are you? Well who ever you are I love your site and your food look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Damn Delicious keep up the good work I will now bookmark YOU
Hi!
I’m amazed how you cook the steak and roast vegetable together in the oven. I never thought about that way. It is a brilliant idea.
You are wicked amazing. My lap-cat is soaked with my drool . And the best part? SO many easy recipes. My daughter in law just had a baby and although I help a lot with meals she really just wants to throw something together quickly. I hooked her up with your site. Keep em coming!
Oh! And THANKS!!!!
I don’t think the nutritional values listed for your bang bang shrimp pasta recipe are correct. Specifically the carbohydrate value of 373.3 grams per serving?
Recipe looks amazing though, can’t wait to try it.
Home sick for the day and what do I do, I browse for recipes while in bed. Stumbled upon your site over an hour ago and haven’t left. Looking forward to the weekend in the kitchen.
I’ve lived in rural Haiti for 20 years and only in the last 5 years, when we got a solar powered freezer) did I get into cooking. I found that a well stocked pantry is essential here as the nearest decent grocery store is over 3 hours away. Thank you for these wonderful looking recipes. Just told my wife I have no idea how I will pick one to begin with. Great photos as well.
