Hi. This is from a decor article in a women's magazine.
What would be an appropriate translation for this term? Thanks!

Explanation:
Hi Vanita

'Autore' in this case refers to one or more celebrity chef(s), whose select, special recipes are served to the competition winner(s), together with any paraphernalia (what your text refers to as 'apparecchiature', i.e. table linen, dishes, cutlery, glasses and whatnot) that would turn this dinner into a memorable occasion.
Basically, a from-the-(top)-restaurant-to-your-home idea, also including waiters.
Spero queste note ti siano comunque d'aiuto.
Cheers,

Barbara

"designer" to reflect the "cachet" involved, rather than just the quality
