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.

  2. Thank you for sharing these great recipes! I feel like a gourmet cook now, and I love that most recipes rarely call for ingredients I don’t already have on hand. I hope you continue to post more recipes.

  3. I absolutely loooove your recipes. Yours is the only website I now go to for recipes. Thank you. Keep cooking!!!!!!

  4. Hello Chungah! I’m in SoCal and made the Chicken Tortellini Soup tonight. It was delicious and very healthy. We just got back from Hawaii and need to eat healthy for a while to offset all the treats we had there and your soup recipe definitely hit the spot! Love your blog!!

  5. I love that I can trust that every recipe I use from this site will turn out delicious! When scrolling through recipes on the internet and I see one from Damn Delicious I know I will have most of the ingredients and it will taste fantastic! Thank you! I will be purchasing your cookbook. You are awesome!

  6. I just wanted to say thank you. I love your recipes, they are simple and easy to follow. I have made so many of your recipes and I have loved every single one. Keep them coming.

  7. I love your photography! Do you mind sharing what kind of camera / lens you use for your images?

    • Thank you! 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.

  8. Congratulations on the cook book Chungah!! You are an inspiration to people like me, who dream of becoming a food blogger one day soon! I have tried many of your recipes and I can’t wait to buy your cook book! Your PF Chang’s Lettuce Wrap Recipe is a hands down favorite in our household. Thank you for all of your great recipes!

  9. Keep up the great work you are doing: there can’t be too many great healthy recipes.
    Love the dog, we have three of them.

  10. I love your blog! I love that the ingredients are ones I use over and over, instead of ones I use once that end up collecting dust on the shelf. There’s sooo much flavor in everything I’ve tried. If only my husband was not so picky, I would get to try a lot more. 🙂 
    Keep them coming!!

  11. Korean Beef Bowl. High fives from our family. Including our five year old son. We all LOVED it. It also gave us to a chance to talk to him about Korean culture and food.

    Thanks for sharing your recipes. We’ll definitely make this one again (so so easy and so so delicious) and will look for others to try. 

  12. Wonderful recipes–will be adding them to my collection, & will get your cookbook too,
    to give my grandaughter (in college) for Xmas. She loves Asian (inspired) food & cooking.
    I saw you on the USC Trojan website, as I’m an ‘ancient’ Trojan (1953). ‘Cook ON’—!!

  13. I came upon your recipe for Apple Sangria. Looks tasty, but do you use and alcohol apple cider or apple juice?
    Thanks

  14. Looking at cauliflower pizza crust recipes I clicked on your site. Your recipe is so much simpler than others I have tried. Then I watch the video re the baked chicken and it made it SO simple to follow. Now, my question is I am Paleo. I recognize that your site is not dedicated to that aspect of food and cooking. Without having to read thru endless recipes, how much of your cooking would you say is either Paleo friendly or adaptable?

    • Unfortunately, it is really difficult to say as my recipes are not specifically tailored for the Paleo diet. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.

  15. That comment sounds terrible.  I didn’t mean it to sound like it reads.  You’re beautiful, and not just from the side!  I should have elaborated. I’m a professional photographer and I see so much more beauty in people than they see in themselves. I’m one to talk…you’ll never see a photo of me. But, just wanted to let you know that you shouldn’t holdback or have any inhibitions.  Again, so sorry for the way that first comment sounded. 

    • LOL, I’m a photographer also and I wanted to say the same thing. There needs to be a photo or two looking at the camera so a personal connection is made. 

  16. Great site….but why are you always looking to the side in your photos?  

  17. hey beautiful

  18. Stumbled across your website while looking for some easy lunch ideas. I immediately fell in love with so many of your recipes. It also doesn’t hurt when a picture of Butter is thrown in there! I love corgi’s so much! He is too cute! Thanks for so many awesome recipes!

  19. This “newer” website of yours is SO MUCH BETTER!!! Everything loads faster w/ no problems; THANK YOU!!

  20. Hi Chungah,
    I started following your blog when my husband and I lived in Ecuador for three months a few years ago. I have enjoyed many of your ideas. The roasted veggies look great, think I’ll make them with my supper meal tonight. We live in northern Alberta, Canada. It’s only mid October and there is a snow storm going on here as I write this.
