The Rav answered that she may take a spoonful and
taste it and then spit it out.

her to follow the Psak of the Bais Yosef who
allows tasting food (& spitting out) on a תענית
except for on Tisha B'Av & Yom Kippur. 

Leah was an Askenzi & must follow the
Rema who forbids tasting food on every תענית

b) The מ"ב  תקס"ז סק"ו  quotes the חיי אדם
"when cooking for a סעודת מצוה one may
taste the food on a תענית" (may not swallow)
Rochel cooked a סעודת מצוה

c) The (ברכי יוסף תקס"ח ) brings a מחלוקת
If someone mistakenly made a ברכה (on food) 
on a תענית 
According to the נחפה בכסף, he should eat less
than a כזית 
Others argue and hold to say בשכמל"ו after making
the ברכה.
