About Kelsey
Kelsey Bistany is the creator of California Girl Cookbook, a seasonal collection of high-protein, nutrient-dense, gluten- and sugar-free recipes built for real weeknights. A Newport Beach mom with a 20-year career in real estate and finance, she started cooking this way while managing a chronic autoimmune condition that attacks her spine and gut — and discovered that healthy food could taste like California: bright, fresh and seriously delicious.
Her seasonal cookbooks, reviewed and improved by a registered dietitian, pair Southern comfort-food roots with a California-fresh, health-first approach: lean proteins and seasonal produce turned into meals the whole family actually wants to eat.
