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 just came across your site looking for a creamy mushroom recipe and I’m here to stay!
My husband has always been the cook of the family but as his work is skyrocketing, I found myself responsible for cooking dinner. After three months of eating the one “decent” dish I would cook he suggested I look online and follow recipes. Well, guess what. Now I can cook. Typically I don’t venture far from recipes but I’m learning to put my own touches on dinner. I’ll tackle James Beard’s Osso Bucchi and I think I made Laurent Torendel’s Short Ribs even better!
It’s websites like yours that gave me hope (and instruction) for ME! Thank you!
Love your satay chicken recipe. That is what inspired me to check out your site. Read the about you section and loved the dogs and your story.
I stumbled upon your recipe when I was looking for gravy recipe for my student. I’m so inspired to see a Korean-American publishing these fantastic recipes. As a fellow Asian-American, myself and a person who grew up in California now in Chicago, I feel a connection. I can’t wait to try the fall pumpkin donut holes! Thanks for the motivation. I wish you only the best!
I love your lemon chicken. Best recipe I have found. Shared it several times and it is a big hit.
Love your website and the story of you, your husband and, of course, Butters and Cartman, who are just divine. If I ever started a blog, I would make sure my adorable and beautiful Jack Russell, Dotty, played a starring role. You guys – and your food – is just the best.
Thank you for the great recipes you been putting out. I made the Cold Fighting Chicken Noodle Soup.
I have to admit. That was the best chicken noodle soup I ever tasted. Made it for the g-kids that have a cold. I know they will enjoy it. Now will be making lots of it. Thank you so much once again.
Thank you for all the work you and your team do on these recipes. I love browsing blogs for recipes when there’s something I want to make. Wherever I see yours pop up, I know it’s going to be good, well tested, and perfected.
One of my kids favorites is the clam chowder. Yum!
LOVE those pups! Crazy about your food!!
BEST OF LUCK 2022-23
Love your recipes, love your dogs! Just wanted to let you know that I like your dog food recipe, but new info has come out that dogs should not eat peas. They actually contribute to heart disease. Strange, but true. https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/news/peas-linked-dcm-canine-heart-disease/
Your recipes have made my family so happy! Our youngest has severe food allergies and many of your recipes are a perfect match for his special diet! Your bio is so sweet and we now have a new favorite place to call home for new and delicious recipes! God bless you and your dear family!
I love making your many recipes! When searching for specific recipes, I always use yours! Everything I’ve ever made using your recipes has turned out fabulous!
I stumbled upon your recipes a few years ago. I am not much of a cook. I found your site easy to follow but most importantly delicious! Loved reading your background. As a fellow Korean and living in chicago- wish you the best! PS your corgis are adorable
I”m so proud of you for having a dream and making it happen! I’m about to make your white bean and spinach soup. Can’t wait for it to be done. That and those damn delicious biscuits pictures would be fabulous together. Rock on and never stop.
Y’all are just plain cute and so anointed by Jesus Christ!
I stumbled onto Damn Delicious at least 5 years ago….
I tested out some of your sheet pan recipes on my family and passed along recipes. Since then our daughters finished college and live independently following their careers.
Our daughter from San Diego called to tell me that she made your wonderful PF Chang’s Lettuce Cups for dinner last night and had leftovers for lunch. Thanks for sharing your skills and recipes and for inspiring other young women.
You are a gem, Chungah!
Darn good food
Beautiful! From 76 yr old male. Carbondale,Illinois.
I have been trained, in French and Italian cooking as an amateur. In France at my favourite restaurant ever in the Lot area which I used so often that the greeter Noel and Jaque the chef became good friends. When he was devastated when a top chef visited the restaurant with friends and used salt on a black truffle dish he created I commiserated and he finally calmed down. He knew of my interest in cooking and on our next holiday he invited me into his kitchen to learn some of his techniques. For five years I spent most of my holidays working in his kitchen and for the last two years I would cook some of the starters and sometimes a main corse or two. An amazing experience for me.
I have read your story and am trying one of your recipes this week when long time friends are here for lunch. Am looking forward to the experience. Just one thing, this is Europe/England .and we don’t us cups as measures so will have to look up how many ml a half cup is. Thank you and I hope you continue to enjoy your life with your husband
