I tried WILFS Beef Rendang. The only thing I did different was I used a slow cooker not casserole and I put one teaspoon of chilli for a bit of warmth. It was delicious and did 4 portions.
Youtube is good mate. I would try face book for tools. Try to buy decent tools, a lot from china on ebay etc are just crap but not all. You can get cheap bits of leather on FB aswell.
