    "prepTime": {
        "text": "15 minutes",
        "iso": "PT15M",
        "minutes": 15
    }

Why are you triplicating the time periods? I would limit that to just the ISO 8601 value (PT15M) and let the UI choose the proper rendering of the value.

Agreed; also more useful for internationalisation to keep textual descriptions out of the data, wherever possible.
