a good cook

just guess from the following explanation I found to the expression:
صحيح الشيخ ابويوسف الشرقي اقتربت للمعنى

النَفس في الطبخ

هي اتقان مهنة الطبخ في الطعم والنكهه

مثلا
يعني اذا فلانه من الناس تتقن الطبخ يعني لو تعمل اي طبخه لو اول مره تعملها تطلع مضبوطه ولها نكهه خاصه

يختلف عن نكهة طبخ بنات جنسها يعني تتميز عن غيرها بإتقان الطبخ نكهه وطعماً

I think this translation conveys the meaning as we understand it in Arabic much better.

We can also translate it to: "She is a natural cook" or "She has a natural cooking talents".
