Reestruturando um JSON

OK pessoal precisam de ajuda lá fora. Ainda estou aprendendo Javascript e suas interações JSON. Eu tenho um JSON como este

[{
  "categories":"Food",
  "subcategories":"Shares",
  "pid":"111",
  "title":"Smoked Salmon Dip",
  "description":"Rich and savory salmon dip, whipped with fresh dill accompanied with     croustades"
   },
   {
  "categories":"Food",
  "subcategories":"Shares",
  "pid":"112",
  "title":"Sweet Goat Cheese Flatbread",
  "description":"Delicate grilled Naan flatbread coated with delish tomato jam and topped with melted goat cheese, roasted garlic, fennel, onion, pear, shiitake mushroom and arugula."
 },
 {
  "categories":"Food",
  "subcategories":"Snacks",
  "pid":"100",
  "title":"Beer Chili",
  "description":"Hot & satisfying short rib chili with black beans, smoked jalapenos, and fresh corn. Topped with aged cheddar cheese and sour cream."
 }];

Mas o que eu preciso é de um JSON que se parece com isso

{
 "menu":{
  "categories":[
     {
                "name":"Food",
                "subcategories":[
                    {
                    "name":"Shares",
                    "items":[
                        {
                        "pid":"111",
                        "title":"Smoked Salmon Dip",
                        "description":"Rich and savory salmon dip, whipped with fresh dill accompanied with croustades"
                        },
                        {
                        "pid":"112",
                        "title":"Sweet Goat Cheese Flatbread",
                        "description":"Delicate grilled Naan flatbread coated with delish tomato jam and topped with melted goat cheese, roasted garlic, fennel, onion, pear, shiitake mushroom and arugula."
                        }
                        ]
                    },
                    {
                    "name":"Snacks",
                    "items":[
                        {                       
                        "pid":"100",
                        "title":"Beer Chili",
                        "description":"Hot & satisfying short rib chili with black beans, smoked jalapenos, and fresh corn. Topped with aged cheddar cheese and sour cream."
                        }
                        ]
                    }
                    ]
        }]
        }
     }

Eu sei que é um pouco feio e, mas estou tendo problemas para descobrir como criar o novo JSON à medida que itero no meu atual.

Qualquer ajuda para me ajudar seria incrível
