Phil McCockin

Chef. Explorer. Storyteller.


From back-alley spice markets to moonlit jungle fires, Phil McCockin has chased flavor, folly, and the world’s finest chickens — all in the name of adventure and discovering unique chicken recipes.

Phil McCockin isn’t just a chef — he’s a full-blown culinary adventurer. He has roasted, grilled, smoked, and braised his way across six continents in pursuit of the perfect bite. Often, he incorporates innovative chicken recipes into his repertoire. He believes that chicken recipes are the canvas upon which he paints his flavorful tales. From a Thai jungle curry that nearly set an entire village ablaze to a Parisian soufflé that almost triggered the Louvre’s smoke alarms, Phil’s globe-trotting career has been equal parts triumph, chaos, and pure comedic genius. Meanwhile, his travel-inspired recipes are celebrated for their bold, unexpected flavors blended with stories you’ll swear must be made up… but aren’t.

And as Phil famously says, a man’s true character is revealed by how he handles his cock — his chicken, of course. It’s that irreverent spirit that shaped his debut cookbook, 101 Ways to Eat Cock. This cookbook is a wildly inventive (yet entirely real) collection of chicken recipes. The recipes are wrapped in globe-spanning misadventures and tongue-in-cheek humor.

With his tilted safari hat, sauce-stained chef coat, and fearless appetite for exploration, Phil has become a symbol of rustic technique, bold flavor, and zero pretense. Around here, food isn’t just cooked — it’s conquered. These chicken recipes stand as testament to culinary adventure.

“Phil told me this cookbook was ‘a simple poultry manual.’ Lies. It’s a treasure map to flavor, danger, and at least three near-death experiences. I loved every saucy page.” – Ophilia Hiney — Jungle Guide & “Close Friend”

Delightful Cookbook Loaded With Mouthwatering Recipes & McCockin’s Adventures Phil McCockin’s 101 Ways to Eat Cock arrives with a wink, a nudge, and a title that all but dares you to blush before you laugh. Once you’re past the cheeky wordplay, you’ll find an inventive—and genuinely entertaining—humorous cookbook-travelogue hybrid.The premise is simple and delightful: McCockin, a globetrotting cook with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, repeatedly finds himself in hot water abroad and cooks his way out using one reliable ingredient—cock, very specifically in its feathered, barnyard sense.What makes the book work is McCockin’s self-awareness. From Bunny Chow Breakfast learned in South Africa to street-food-style chicken skewers improvised on a Carnival float in Rio, the dishes are diverse, accessible, and clearly written by someone who actually enjoys cooking.The prose is breezy and confident, peppered with mock-serious declarations always stopping just short of crossing the line. Those who enjoy food writing with an adventurous comedic spine will find plenty to savor.In the end, 101 Ways to Eat Cock is less about shock value and more about storytelling. It’s a playful reminder that food can be a universal language—even when the title tries to make you snort-laugh in public. Come for the pun, stay for the recipes, and leave with the feeling that you’ve learned something useful.

A Hilarious, Beautiful, and Delicious Adventure! “101 Ways To Eat Cock” is an absolute delight. It is witty, wonderfully written, and packed with genuinely delicious recipes. Behind the cheeky title is a stunningly crafted cookbook with a beautiful cover, gorgeous food photography, and dishes that are as impressive as they are fun to make.The fictional adventures of Phil McCockin add a playful layer to the experience, turning every recipe into a globe-trotting story. It’s part cookbook, part comedy, part adventure novel, and it is deliciously perfect. I found myself laughing one minute and bookmarking recipes the next.This is the kind of book you enjoy reading just for the entertainment but also keep in your kitchen because the recipes are scrumptious. A fantastic gift for food and humor lovers or anyone who appreciates something truly unique. I highly recommend this book!

Never thought a recipe book could be entertaining I overheard people talking about a recipe book. Normally recipe book talks stop fairly quickly, but not this one. Entertaining to say the least! The stories are awesome. I really like how the index breaks down the ingredients. If I have leftover mango, I simply flip to mango and it tells me which recipes use mango. I got one as a gift and one is on my coffee table. Can’t wait to hear the next adventures of Phil!!
