Without testing, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong (have you tried
"leveltitle = -1"?), but I notice that you give two different versions
of what you're trying to achieve:

> I want the 'Meat' link under 'Food' to have id=7&Section=3

...and:

> section=Recipes

If it's the first one you want, you should be able to achieve it by
replacing this:

>        typolink.additionalParams.data = leveltitle:-2

...with this:

typolink.additionalParams.field = pid

[the 'pid' field in the page record is the uid of the parent page]
