Try Barbara Kafka's "Microwave Gourmet." It may be out of print and
microwaves had somewhat less power when it was written than they do
now. But, you can try various things and decide for yourself if you
like them, without starting a long trial and error process for each
one.

There are things you can cook in a microwave. For example, when I am
making clam soup I zap the clams separately and add the liquid to the
pot on the burner, leaving grit behind in the microwave dish.
