She was sold by her parents and had to work as a maid. From here she fled and ended up on the streets of Phnom Penh. Hannes Schmid found her and gave her a job in our kitchen. She took her chance and it quickly became clear: the petite mother of two children has spectacular talent. Smiling Gecko first promoted this talent in Cambodia and later in Switzerland. After all, she was able to cook so well that top chefs like Andreas Caminada became aware of this exceptional talent. It is also the latter who predicts a unique career for her. We keep our fingers crossed. Because today she is not only the figurehead of the farmhouse kitchen, but also its best teacher.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3df5fd44 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"3df5fd44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_show_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_show_tablet&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Story gallery\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 3\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/A88I7584-MARIYA-UN-NOUN\u2013ANDREAS-CAMINADA-FARMHOUSE-SMILING-GECKO-CAMBODIA-QUER-1-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Mariya Un Noun and Andreas Caminada stand together in the kitchen.\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 3\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/KEP-MARIYA-UN-NOUN-FARMHOUSE-SMILING-GECKO-CAMBODIA-QUER-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mariya Un Noun holding freshly caught seafood.\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"3 of 3\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5G7A8333.jpg\" alt=\"Mariya Un Noun prepares food with her team in the kitchen.\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-chevron-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M646 125C629 125 613 133 604 142L308 442C296 454 292 471 292 487 292 504 296 521 308 533L604 854C617 867 629 875 646 875 663 875 679 871 692 858 704 846 713 829 713 812 713 796 708 779 692 767L438 487 692 225C700 217 708 204 708 187 708 171 704 154 692 142 675 129 663 125 646 125Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-chevron-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M696 533C708 521 713 504 713 487 713 471 708 454 696 446L400 146C388 133 375 125 354 125 338 125 325 129 313 142 300 154 292 171 292 187 292 204 296 221 308 233L563 492 304 771C292 783 288 800 288 817 288 833 296 850 308 863 321 871 338 875 354 875 371 875 388 867 400 854L696 533Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f89790d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f89790d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>THE KHMER CUISINE IN THE RESTAURANTS OF THE FARMHOUSE RESORT<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7790f7e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7790f7e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt first glance, the artistic creations of Mariya and her team may seem anachronistic to what the reality of rural Cambodia otherwise holds.
