Totally Hot NI

Carolyn Stewart is best known as one of NI's top radio presenters. She's become a household name through hosting her own daily show on U105 radio and regular appearances at top clubs throughout the land. But when she isn't mixing the music, Carolyn is mixing it in the kitchen.

Her great passion is for full-on flavoursome food rocking the excitement of tangy Caribbean spice with crisp, garden-fresh fare.

In 2016, Carolyn launched her own food business Totally Hot NI to develop the type of pickles she had enjoyed during holidays to Jamaica.

in 2021 Carolyn added innovative Jerk Seasoning and Chilli Fruit Sauces to her product range and launched her new Carolyn Stewart – Turn up the Flavour brand. Carolyn fine-tuned her chili infused fruit sauces along with the latest addition of Jerk Seasoning during the last lockdown.

The award-winning Caribbean Pickle, along with the Pineapple Chilli products where the first to undergo the new label transformation incorporating Carolyn’s love of music and food infusions under the new brand.

The Jerk seasoning makes a great marinade for meats, and plant-based options, enhancing flavour but with a punch of heat to finish. The fruit sauces can be used in any dessert, cheese board, dipping sauce or mix up a cocktail to complement any dinner party.

The Caribbean Pickle has two awards - Great Taste Award 2017 and a Blas Na Eireann Award in 2019.
