      Hi, I'm Emma! Growing up in a household of amazing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine cooks, I fell in love with the flavors and traditions. But dining out often left me disappointed by the lack of authenticity and quality. As a pastry chef, my passion for good food only grew stronger. I started Flame & Flavor to share my vision, using fresh ingredients, no seed oils and premium meats to craft delicious dishes that bring people together. Our food is made with love, and it shows.

      Flame and Flavor provided top-notch catering for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was very easy and smooth, which helped make everything run seamlessly. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, from the delicious food to the impeccable service. The chicken was extremely tender, and the beef was also perfectly cooked. Everything was thoughtfully seasoned and tasted incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests on the quality of the catering. Flame and Flavor truly contributed to making our special day unforgettable.

I invite people to my bar for wedding drinks tastings and give them the actual experience of crafting a cocktail . This is what I bring in the wedding events and intimate parties.

        Our event was small and intimate. There was only a handful of us but Praveen made us feel like we were the only ones there. The drink menu was so mouthwatering it was hard to choose - so we didn’t! We had seen Praveen’s mixology skills previously so we just asked him to make something custom for us - and he nailed it! Be as adventurous as you like - or keep it simple! No matter what, the service, the quality of drinks and the overall wonderful conversation makes Praveen the best way to spend an evening over drinks and laughs.
