I actually have this book! 😂

One of the recipes is Beans on Toast. It's ridiculous how simple it is.

....And naturally you have to make the toast, in a toaster, first xD

But yes in general it has well thought out recipes that correctly work to a microwave's strengths, I find most people who hate using a microwave when cooking are using it poorly - expecting it to work just like an oven or a pot on a stove. It's just a different tool is all, not the right tool for all uses, but great when used correctly.

My father says the microwave can't be used for this and that, but he also absolutely refuses to use anything except max power

I was cooking something at low power for like 10 minutes, he saw the micro was done but the food was still not done, so he set it to max for 5 minutes and it came out completely burned...

Do you have one or two examples of recipes from the book that you think are good?
