I think it is relevant because why would any author include a cooking method which is known to have a potential negative health impact. In addition, in many countries outside of the US (especially Europe) microwaves are still seen as an inferior cooking approach and so any author who uses it as one of the key ways to cook pasta would have a significant credibility issue
