Spanish term or phrase: "de autor"
From a restaurant review:
La cocina es “de autor”; el responsable de tanta delicia es Chicho el Cojo.


"de autor" appears just like I posted it, within quotation marks. The name of the chef I changed.

I think this "de autor" thing means what they call "signature cuisine" or "designer cuisine" in the US. Looking for some corroboration.
Thanks

agree Claudia Alvis: There's a slight difference between designer and signature cuisine. 'Designer Cuisine' is when the courses are original (even trademarked) while 'signature cuisine' are when the courses are recognizable but not necessarily original.

agree Nikki Graham: signature is what I use. If you "sign" it, it's surely because you "designed" it ¿no? Anyway, signature seems to be the more usual term, IMHO

original

Explanation:
Maybe this will settle the dispute between "designer" and "signature", just call it "original". After all, Chicho says he invented it so it's his original cuisine.
