How it all began
Nuweplaas was inspired by Elrika's passion for cooking and entertaining, and a lifelong dream of opening her own restaurant. Elrika Lesch was raised in Malmesbury by a happy and loving family. Her mother and late "Ouma", both excellent cooks, always shared a love for cooking and good food.
That inspired Elrika, who went on to gain years of experience in the catering business. She has cooked for various bakeries and kitchens and spent many happy years catering for large functions.
Elrika always held a special space in her heart for the farm workers and their wives, who worked with her at 'Country Kitchen' and 'Die Ou Huis', and always dreamed of creating jobs for them. After years in the catering business her dream turned into a beautiful reality: together with Lodewyk and their daughters Christelle and Nadia, 'Country Kitchen' was re-branded and Nuweplaas was born.
