I haven't been myself, but a friend took her kids along and strongly recommended it.
Have you tried getting her involved with cooking her food? A friend (who is an EXCELLENT cook!) had a child who didn't eat much, but now he'll try anything which he's helped to make.
Eg if you're making potato or root veg chips get them to pick them up once chopped and shake in a bag with some olive oil and herbs; rolling pastry, splodging jam into pastry to make tarts, stirring cake mix (you've probably noticed by now I'm a baker rather than a cook!!), shaking herbs over things, drizzling juice over fruit salad/olive oil over salad or things ready to cook, sieving flour, breaking and beating eggs, making fruit kebabs, spreading sandwiches, making homemade pizzas eg even just using corn tortillas and spreading with tomato paste, grating and sprinkling cheese and veg over? Seasoning chicken/fish ready to cook.
Probably nothing you haven't tried already?
