I think because the it's a nice word, and its a good shorthand for "the 
results derived from my written working of X" as well as "my written 
working of X". Frankly, both are applicable in different contexts:

Adaptation - the product you are serving at the table. Interpretation is 
equally valid here.

Redaction - your written out reworking of the original recipe or 
description.

Together, a dish for which you've also provided the recipe in your own 
words is an adaptation/interpretation and a redaction.
