THE COOKING PLACE -- The signature restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is Jiko-The Cooking Place, featuring cuisines from around the globe: banana leaf-steamed Chilean sea bass with asparagus puree, mushrooms and apples; oven-baked garlic chicken tagine with grapefruit, olives and herbs; a whole roasted papaya stuffed with spicy minced beef. Appetizers are equally imaginative, like cinnamon-spiced beef roll with vegetable-banana dip, or maize tamales with truffle oil, herbs and spices.
