Rather than refuse to taste, you should try "just one bite."
It might surprise you.

As my daughter grew up, and I made something new, she would
often refuse just because it didn't sound good to her.

We came to a compromise. The "one bite rule."
Just take one bite and if you don't like it, I'll never
serve it to you again. Worked well.

Interestingly, on average, she ended up actually liking what
she tried about 6-7 times out of 10.

She's age 40 now and she does that with her two young kids.
