Why George R. R. Martin pays special attention to food
The readers of A Song of Ice & Fire know how Martin goes into detail about the taste of the food being served in a particular scene. Martin wrote in the foreward to the cookbook:
George R. R. Martin wants his readers to taste the food
Martin’s writing skills are legendary, despite being very slow. The way he writes about the cuisine almost makes you taste it. He added:
