An imam, a reverend and two rabbis were among 400 people worldwide who joined an online cookalong with Maureen Lipman on Tuesday evening which was organised by Mitzvah Day.

From her Paddington kitchen, the actress took her audience through the preparation of a hearty bean and barley soup.

“I’m an improvisation cook and hopeless at following a recipe,” she confessed. “Just keep tasting.”

The idea was for participants to make something delicious and nutritious for a neighbour or friend in need as part of Mitzvah Day’s Every Mitzvah Matters campaign.
