Just about anything you could think to want to cook he's done a recipe for.

The last guy isn't the same league as above but he does a lot of bbq, burgers & meat cooking that can be recreated on a stovetop frypan or an oven.

Between Ramsay, Pepin, John & Yan you should be introduced to a wide variety of techniques from basic all the way to expert tier, ingredient usage from cheap to expensive and give you ideas, and the core techniques of classic French, modern Western/American and centuries old Asian cooking. My one note is use Sunflower oil not Olive oil when you start.

As for utensils, find a commercial restaurant supply store & buy simple stainless steel pots with glass or steel lids:
>Pair of 8 inch chef knives. Start with the cheapest steel then upgrade to Tojiro DP3 once past beginner stage.
>Small pairing knife
>Measuring spoon set
>Small saucepan (4 to 6 eggs)
>Large saucepan
>10 Inch frypan
>Stockpot, 7 or 8 litre/quart
>Oven roasting tray
>Aluminium baking sheet tray
>Bamboo cutting board
>Plastic board for chicken/pork
>Peeler
>Ladle, Spatula, Stirring Spoon
