Enjoy quality food at home with our new Extra Special range

The chefs at Leiths School of Food and Wine know a thing or two about creating quality food. And that’s why we’re working in partnership with them to ensure our Extra Special range lets you enjoy the highest quality food at home, however busy you may be.

We’ve been working hard alongside Leiths’ top chefs to develop new recipes and dishes that are better than ever, and which deliver genuine fine dining at great prices.

Our new range of 64 Extra Special ready meals is our first to have been fully developed and approved by Leiths’ chefs. To show you just how great they are, we’ve put them on sale at great trial prices – £2.50 for meals for one, £4 for meals for two and £1.50 for sides for two.

Every single Extra Special meal in the range has gone through Leiths’ team of experts. Some are recipes from Leiths’ legendary “Bible” cookbooks, and some are even the home recipes created by their top executives.

Products in the new range include Pork Shanks with Caramelised Apple Sauce, Langoustine Bisque with Rouille, Maple Smoked Bacon and Brie Tart and French Farmhouse Chicken Casserole.

Hemant Patel, Asda’s brand director, said: "Asda and Leiths School of Food and Wine have a shared passion with Asda for delicious food that is simple, generous, classic and accessible to all. Our food development teams have worked in partnership with Leiths’ chefs to create a range of Extra Special ready meals that deliver fantastic taste at market leading prices.

“Our relationship with Leiths is deeper than just what you see on the label of Extra Special, the commitment to quality and the learning and training we have from Leiths has started to come through our entire product range.

“We are exceptionally proud of our new Extra Special ready meals created with Leiths, as they marry classic flavours with some modern twists in a range that is truly delicious.”
