Meals in the Making is a Birmingham family-owned
and operated business.  Our independent entree
assembly kitchen was the first in Birmingham
opening in February 2006.  Operated by a busy
person like you, owner and manager, Deb Gorecki,
along with Culinard trained Executive Chef,
Keith Cochran, understand the value of your time
and plan meals that are easy to pop in the oven and
serve making more time for family and friends.

Many of us face the challenge to provide nutritious
and affordable meals for our families in today's
economy.   Keeping this in mind each month as
they plan delicious dishes for your table, Deb and
Chef Keith continue their committment to providing the
highest quality and freshest ingredients for each dish.   

Meals in the Making is actively involved  in Birmingham
community events and service.   We are proud of our
great State, its rich traditions and culinary heritage.
Being a girl from the South,  Deb enjoys making new
friends and invites you to stop in our warm and friendly
kitchen,  smell  the wonderful aromas and enjoy  a cup
of coffee or tea.
