a flair for cooking
flair works for most things - exept for gardening when we say someone has "green fingers"

special touch
knack stands for: براعة/ موهبة خاصة
falir: حاسة تمييز/ ميل أو نزعة
first meaning in my opinion is concrete, and the second, also in my opinion; doesn't emply the meaning needed.
If it's up to me, I'll stick to the asker's suggestion "special touch", as لمسة خاصة keeps the magic intended from the Arabic term نفس. Mr. Hamid's suggestion is also great, but I also think it's offering other meanings.
