You can write your custom Attribute and access that value through ViewData.ModelMetadata (make sure that your attribute class implements IMetadataAware). Then create your own JSON class which puts all your properties and its values inside a dictionary. The key for each property will be the name that you specify in your custom attribute.

This sounds a little cryptical maybe, but if you think you like this approuch I can give you a code example. Good luck!

What about something like this...

public ActionResult GetCook()
{
    var cook = new Cook();
    return Json(new 
    { 
        atime = cook.time1, 
        anothertime = cook.time2, 
        yetanothertime = cook.time3 
    });
}
