She is doing like the Julia Child for French cuisine, adapting the Japanese recipes to American taste, ingredients and... expectations of people that know of J-food only through cliches. I have no problem with adapting any recipe to your taste, as long as you say it, you eat your own food. I also totally understand that some people can't find ingredients, or won't have pork, fish, garlic, due to their lifelong habits, religion, health concerns. But I don't understand how one can claim you make "home-style Japanese dishes" with Sriracha sauce. That's not normal such authors claim they do "authentic" or "teach x-country cooking".
