In his first communication since a March 28 missive claiming he had made "mistakes," Robert Irvine reemerges in the form of an email newsletter, Comic Sans and all.

In his monthly e-newsletter for April (there was none for March), Irvine describes how "the past few weeks have been filled with a lot of ups and downs," and lashes back at critics: "Even though a lot of what happened was mischaracterized, I know one thing: I can cook."

Further in, he attempts to rectify past mistruths, or, alternatively, perform a little history revision: The intro to his Food Network show Dinner Impossible used to claim, until it was edited out, that he had "worked for three presidents," but in the email newsletter he now claims that he "train[ed] many of the cooks and staff who work in the White House Mess."

Irvine also alerts fans to recent and future public appearances. Last week, he was at the "Share Our Strength" dinner at Harry's Savoy Grill in Wilmington, Delaware. "Chef David Leo Banks has invited me," he affirmed. Translation: He did not crash the party. They wanted him there.

Irvine thanks his fans for their support and signs out "Let's move on together! Bon Appétit!"

Bonus: A recipe for pan-seared salmon with haricots verts.
