'Flambe-ing' is the process of setting alight to a liqueur (normally with the liqueur contained in a metal ladle) and then pouring it over the food which required flambe-ing. Once the alcohol has burned away, the flame dies out and the food is ready to eat. (Alternatively you can cover the foodstuff in liqueur and then set it alight, however this is more difficult since the alcohol tends to disperse over the plate before it can be set on fire).

Since flambe is a french work, it is technically grammatically incorrect to write "flambeing" or "flambe-ing", however I can't see a way around it.

What is a fambe?

Do you mean Flambe? I have never heard of fambe. A flambe is a process in which you add alcohol to food and ignite it. By igniting it some of the alcohol burns off and the flavor intensifies. Contrary to popular belief, when you flambe you do not burn off all the alcohol.

Flambe - When you are coking add a little wine or brandy ( a small amount) to what you have in the saute pan and flip this a little bit toward to burner of the stove and it will flambe ( or flame up). The alcohol will cook off and leave a caramelized flavor of the wine behind.
