Any validity that microwaving food is bad for you?

No. Cooking in a microwave allows you to retain more, not less, nutrients.

And the author's assertion that cooking with radiation will necessarily render food toxic is just silly. Conventional ovens use radiation to cook also. They just use infrared radiation instead of microwave radiation.

microwave recipes?

Certainly.
