Peter Christian's had wonderful sandwiches, soups and desserts that served the local Dartmouth community for many years. They also had a restaurant in New London, and Keene, NH but I guess that New London is the only location that is now still in business also having gone through a couple of owners from what I learned by reading their website. Anyway, I acquired the only two cookbooks they put out at the time and I would guess you would have to hunt FOREVER to find a copy of either one but one of our favorite recipes was Boursin Cheese.

Beat or blend with a fork until smooth.
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1 T. lemon juice
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. basil
1/2 t. dill
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 t. parsley
1/2 t. celery salt
I eliminated the celery salt because I did not have any.
I added lots of grated lemon rind and a bit more lemon juice plus chopped fine green onion tops.
Blend well, spread on your favorite sandwich and enjoy!
I think for a trip down "nostalgia lane" I might just try making some of their other recipes. I'll let you know how they go and post if they turn out well.
