You don't get to say that a recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare when one of the directions is "simmer covered for 25 to 35 minutes".

I think the convention is "prep time" for a recipe is before heat is applied "cook time" is after heat is applied and "total time" is the sum of both, plus any required rest time between or after cook.
But, I do agree that can be annoying, because it's not the same as my expectations.
