Andrew Sweeney's Scoop cookbook puts food in the frame for a new school in Cambodia

THE Celtic Tiger has a disputed legacy, to say the least, but the democratisation of good food and visual arts are two of perhaps the happiest and most abiding ones. Now, Andrew Sweeney has taken the logical step of combining these two obsessions in a new kind of cookbook — one written and illustrated by professional artists.
Sweeney is the founder of the charity Scoop (Supporting Children Out of Poverty), a charity that stems from his postgraduate globetrotting.
