More About the Author

How It All Started...

In 2004, Ross was living in a new city -- Philadelphia -- and found that avoiding social opportunities with food was not an effective way to make friends. And he was overwhelmed by how challenging it was to find restaurants to take his fiancée (now wife) where he could actually order something gluten-free.

Then his wife had a brilliant idea: "Let's make dining cards to teach restaurants how to prepare gluten free foods!"

Together, the couple visited kitchen restaurants, interviewed chefs, read product labels, and studied dozens of cookbooks. They built lists of foods they could both eat, foods to avoid, and the likely pitfalls they might encounter at restaurants. Eventually, they turned these lists into thorough and foolproof instructions, and enlisted translators - three translators per card, actually - to ready them for ethnic restaurants.

The first time they used the dining cards, Ross was the guinea pig, so you can imagine how glad he was when they actually worked.

He used them in dozens of restaurants across Philadelphia, enjoying corn tortillas at a Mexican greasy spoon -- where nobody spoke English -- and even eating Indian food -- now one of his favorite cuisines -- for the very first time.

Triumph's first customers found success with the cards, too. In fact, most of the sales came from word-of-mouth referrals. The response was incredible!

Triumph Dining today

We've grown a lot since those early days. Thanks to your great suggestions, we've added several new products, including a Restaurant Guide and a Grocery Guide -- both of which are updated annually. And today, we're the largest independent gluten free publisher in North America.

Triumph remains a family-owned and operated company, with expanded offices in scenic Falls Church, VA -- just a few miles from Washington, DC. There are four of us now: Ross, Kay, Laura, and Yana. We're always hard at work updating our current products and developing new ones, so if there's ever a restaurant or product you'd like to share with our readers, tell us about it and we'll consider it for the guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gluten Free -- Worry Free Grocery Shopping, October 22, 2008
This review is from: The Essential Gluten-Free Grocery Guide (Paperback)
My school aged daughter was recently diagnosed with gluten sensitivities and as most people know, the learning curve to gluten free living is steep. Having a resource that so clearly breaks things down for weekly grocery shopping has been such a time saver. I highly reccomend Triumphs Gluten Free Grocery Guide 2nd edition as a must resource. The book is small enough to fit in my purse and is well organized. The cost of gluten free living is high, but it was such a relief to see many commericial products such as many of Newman's salad dressings that are gluten free. They also include a number of regional grocery brand products such as "Stop and Shop" which also helps in terms of choice and price.

Overall, this resource has really opened up the number of commercial choices that my daughter can eat especially in the snack department which for kids is huge.

The staff at Triumph is extremely approachable as well. I had a question on Nutella hazelnut spread which was not listed in the book. The staff researched the issue and happily for my daughter, Nutella is gluten-free. Anyway, I know many of you may be on the fence about spending over $20 for a paperback but honestly, it is money well spent not having to hurt your eyes reading labels or spending over 2 hours each trip in a grocery store. I applaud Triumph for publishing this resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Info I Didn't Even Know I Lacked, March 15, 2010
I first began a gluten free diet in 2007, and when I would see ads for this book, I would always think "I'm ok; I have the hang of reading labels to look for gluten-derived ingredients, and I'm in the habit of calling companies when I don't know for sure."

The people who put this book together, however, have gone to a lot of work to find out more information than one can normally get from a simple label or even a phone call to a manufacturer. They have symbols that indicate whether a company goes above and beyond, with practices in place to avoid cross-contamination, which companies have dedicated lines or facilities, which companies perform testing to ensure there is no cross-contamination, and which companies have a chance of cross-contamination (whether this is because the company's legal department doesn't want to stick their neck out and say it's absolutely safe or there truly are risks; either way, it's important to know).

I'm particularly hyper-sensitive to gluten, and I was able to remove several products from my kitchen that were suspect, despite labels indicating (and companies themselves claiming) they were gluten free, and my instances of "mystery glutenings" have dropped dramatically! This is over a period of about four to five months.

I recommend this book to anyone who lives gluten free, and I am hoping that future editions will include even more store brands!

5.0 out of 5 stars this book is AWESOME!!!!, December 7, 2008
By 
Kim & Henry B. (New York City Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Gluten-Free Grocery Guide (Paperback)
i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. i wish i found something like this 3 years ago. i shop for a big family, only some of us are gluten free. i used to have 2 pantries, one gluten free and one regular. now teh gluten free pantry is a lot smaller (and my food bill lower, by alot) because i found lots of regular brands (chips, hot dogs, etcetera) are gluten free, too. i never would have had the time to call companies and find this out myself. this book is a lifesaver. my only complaint is that i wish this book qualified for the amazon free shipping.
