These tutorials will provide you with a lesson about the different types of peppers from the mild Bell Pepper to the ultra-fiery Habanero, their history, how their heat is rated on a special scale, proper handling techniques and a few recipes. Our target audience will be adults. Since we both enjoy cooking, we have decided to have a little fun and go with a food-inspired project. The overall goal of instruction is for individuals to: identify types of chile peppers, describe the history, know the differences between the types of chile peppers, identify some chile peppers on the Scoville Heat scale, know how to properly handle chile peppers, and to be able to create dishes using different types of peppers.   **The learner will be able to:** a) Identify types of chile peppers b) Describe the history of chile peppers c) Identify how the heat of chile peppers is rated d) Properly handle chile peppers e) Create dishes using chile peppers
