It's no secret that raw foods are better for you - you get more of the enzymes and vitamins that fizzle out when they are cooked. But nibbling on a carrot stick and chomping through celery can be so depressing, especially when you have the January blues. With this is mind, Raw Fairies delivers healthy, living foods prepared in a delicious, tempting way. The spaghetti is made from courgette ribbons and comes with a red pepper and walnut bolognese. The avocado almond burgers are served with a raisin ginger chutney. Breakfast smoothies contain chlorella (marine algae) to support your immune system and flush out your gut. And to keep the sweet tooth happy, there's even a cheesecake with antioxidant-rich blueberries and a base of cashew nuts.

Those devoted to the raw-food movement (it is, admittedly, an acquired taste) will adore Raw Fairies. The nutrient-rich, organic and virtually all-vegan foods are energising and delicious, and everything is delivered in entirely biodegradable packaging. Top-up treats include intense raw chocolate macaroons, and Skin or Detox Booster drinks, all £6 each.

Christmas is a time for indulgence, but if you make conscious choices about what to eat you can be physically and emotionally satisfied without the discomfort of over indulging. With these recipes from botanical cuisine chef Anya Ladra, co-founder of Raw Fairies, you can have your cake and eat it too.

Another hot tip is new organic delivery service Raw Fairies who are treating well-heeled Londoners to their tasty, wholesome raw food menus by delivering straight to their doors. We met up with the ex-lawyer owner Anya to sample their vegan burger and lemon and poppy seed cake which were both exceptional. (And as testament to what a raw food diet can do for your skin, hers was glowing with radiant health!)

"I entrusted myself to the Raw Fairies 12-day Botanical Cleanse, an urban detox regime the quality and authenticity of which rivals any far-flung fasting programme - except that your raw meals, juices and supplements are delivered to a London doorstep instead of a seaside cabana." (Calgary Avansino, Executive Director)

"I wait for the horrible side-effects and pangs of hunger, but none kick in. I just feel holier than thou. "My jeans fall down this morning.... but the most rewarding result is a sense of clarity and vitality." (Lydia Williams, Health & Beauty Writer)
