Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You should first consider taking her to the doctor to make sure that there is no physical reason for the poor appetite. Her doctor can take a history from you and examine her to make sure that there are no underlying reasons.

If none are found then you can consider an appetite stimulant, for example, the B vitamins, these have been found to improve appetite. You might need to determine if there are other foods or methods of cooking that she may prefer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
