MERAKI

[may-rah-kee] adjective
This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, passion, or love -- when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, whatever it may be. Meraki is often used to describe cooking or preparing a meal, but it can also mean arranging a room, choosing decorations, or setting an elegant table.
