| Intended reader | A cook meeting Southeast Asian cooking for the first time, who wants a real sense of the whole region rather than one country. | A cook who already knows they want to cook this food regularly and wants depth without the full reference apparatus. | A cook who wants the reference: the full research apparatus, the pantry studies, and all one hundred recipes. |

True of all three
- Every one of the eleven countries appears in every edition, with a minimum of two recipes each.
- The smaller editions are selections from the Complete Edition, not rewrites. A recipe that appears, appears in full.
- The same testing disclosure, allergen and food-safety treatment, and AI-imagery disclosure in all three.
Essentials and Expanded are planned editions. Neither has been built, submitted to a retailer, priced or scheduled, and neither can be bought or pre-ordered. Their contents are not chosen yet, which is why this page says so rather than estimating.
Imagery is produced with generative AI tools and reviewed by the author. It is illustrative, not documentary photography. How these images were made.
