FIA ON KTLA CALIFORNIA COOKING
If you’re looking to elevate your holiday table this season, Fia has delivered a stuffing worth celebrating. Recently featured on California Cooking with Jessica Holmes, Fia’s Madeira Brown-Butter Sage Stuffing blends comfort, richness, and coastal-Italian flair—the perfect reflection of the restaurant’s “Italian Eats with a Cali Beat” philosophy.
This isn’t your average stuffing. Chef Scott Erickson and the Fia culinary team layer nutty brown butter with fragrant sage and a splash of Madeira wine, creating a deeply savory, aromatic dish that feels both nostalgic and luxuriously modern. The Madeira adds a gentle sweetness and depth, while the brown butter infuses every bite with a warm, toasty complexity. It’s the kind of side that can hold its own next to any turkey, roast, or vegetarian centerpiece.
What makes this stuffing truly special is its balance: comforting enough to satisfy traditionalists, yet elevated enough to impress guests who appreciate something a little unexpected. It embodies exactly what Fia is known for—thoughtful food, beautiful flavors, and a California-meets-Italy sensibility that feels right at home on a holiday table.
