Re: few questions about Recipe

Eric,
 
>>  sounds as if prepTime plus cookTime is supposed to equal totalTime
 
I'd say, "maybe."  Maybe totalTime includes both of those plus any 
"standing" times like the ones you gave as examples. 
 
In real-world recipes I've seen, if both prepTime and cookTime 
are represented in the data, typically totalTime is *not* present. 
 The totalTime property is most likely useful in receipes where the 
time is not broken down into "prep" and "cook".

       Hello, 
I'm trying to get my head around the prepTime, cookTime, and totalTime 
properties of Recipe. totalTime is defined as the time it takes to 
prepare and cook the recipe, which sure sounds as if prepTime plus 
cookTime is supposed to equal totalTime. 
 
I don't know the recommended way to categorize a post-cooking "let sit 
for about 10 minutes before slicing, then slice and serve" or 
post-baking "transfer to rack and cool. Chill until cold, about 2 
hours. Cover and chill overnight." Are there more detailed guidelines 
to the use of these properties somewhere?
 
I was also wondering if anyone on this list could say why the Google 
Structured Data Testing Tool throws errors on suitableForDiet, e.g.,
 
  "http://schema.org/VeganDiet (The property suitableForDiet is not 
recognized by Google for an object of type Recipe.)"
 
Thanks, just joined the list, hope these questions are appropriate here.
