Founder and Private Chef

Amy Kayne

I’m Amy Kayne, founder and head Private Chef at 2Gether. I’m so very fortunate to have been raised around two amazing food cultures, Lebanese and Italian. Over the past 9 years I've followed my passion to a whole new level by creating and branding 2Gether Private Chefs. I love introducing new foods, flavors and cooking techniques to clients of all ages. I also love doing what our team can do to help the community and have had the good fortune the last few years to work with organizations like Cooking for Community, Foundation House and Full Plates Full Potential.

My path to today has been an interesting mix of childhood food experiences, big kitchen apprenticeships (Hugo’s being one of them) and lots of research, reading, experimentation, and years of customized event execution. With that in mind, I love curating a menu for my clients based on what their taste buds truly crave. I always ask - "What do you crave at 8:30pm?". That sweet link will help bring the created menu to life to help navigate the menu to a different level. That connection is where your palate burns a glorious memory that you will hold onto forever. My team and I develop connections with the client or guest of honor on an emotional level. To me, it's not just about what you’re putting on the plate, but also about the chemistry and connection, we build with our clients in order to truly nourish them.

Our Team

The 2Gether team shares the same passion for creating lasting food memories and experiences. We’re so grateful every time we have the opportunity to bring our clients vision to life. We collaborate, we create, we execute our passion for food and take it to a whole new level. Together we curate a memorable food experience.

We are 2Gether Private Chefs.

Hope Duncanson, Office Manager

I came to the 2Gether team after being a stay at home mom for two years. My background is in the arts and education, I worked in early intervention/special education for 12 years, finding joy working with children and families. I also have a passion for the medicinal qualities found in the natural world, especially in food! I have a love for people and finding the smile in each day. 

You’ll find me working behind the scenes to keep things moving around the office. Sometimes you’ll see me out on jobs, supporting our chefs and having a great time at events. I’m so glad to be part of this team, bringing memories and meaning to the food you eat! 

Noelle Hotham, Client Manager 

While I am new to 2Gether, the event world was something I picked up from a young age as the “planner” of the family. My background in event planning ranges from weddings, corporate, nonprofit, small businesses, social and holiday occasions. When I am not busy planning for a profession, I am helping my husband run his construction business and being a mom to our three little ladies.

As the Client Manager my goal is to ensure our clients visions come to fruition, smoothly. I will be working behind the scenes prior to events with our team and clients on all the details. You will also see me on site for various events, working with our client or helping the team where needed.
