The general adjective would be dexterous (or dextrous) because you need skilled hands to be good at cooking and baking. Dexterous is not usually used directly to describe a person who is good at cooking, it is used to emphasize cooking skills within the context; so it wouldn’t be an exact fit for your example but you can rephrase your sentence.

Showing or having skill, especially with the hands

[oxforddictionaries]

Example usages from Google Books:

No one could have imagined that cooking could be a key aspect of dramatic attraction: this drama details cooking procedures from selecting and preparing materials to cutting, steaming, and decorating the food, all presented in fast changing close-up shots catching the colorfulness of the food and the cook’s dexterous skills, accompanied by cheerful music and sound effects.

You can also consider the informal British term dab hand. [The adjective form is dab-handed but it is very uncommon.] It means a person who is very good or expert at doing something. So in our context, the common phrases are:

dab hand in the kitchen

and

dab hand at cooking

It is worth to mention this usage because it is both related to skilled hands and expertise. It is a British term but it gained usage in American English also.

Example usages:

James is a dab hand at cooking main courses, meats, vegetables and such. His wife, Sarah, bakes like an angel and makes the most amazing pastries, breads and desserts.
