When you cook your food, you are giving heat to the food (a.k.a. kinetic energy) giving the food molecules more energy to move about. Slowly as the heat builds up and the food is reaching its boiling point, then the energy (kinetic energy), starts to break some of the intermolecular bonds. They have a strong covalent. Slowly some off the bonds free and break away, either diffusing (dispersing) into the air or change form, denaturing. As when egg is cooked, for example, some of the intermolecular bonds are broken away and hence causing the food to change shape, (as stated before denaturing).

I'm not sure if that what you wanted but that's what I think it is. Briefly that is.

What is the difference between microwave and stove cooked food?

Microwave energy is electromagnetic (EM) radiation, and microwave ovens use energy at a frequency of about 2450 MHz (2,450 million cycles per second). This energy is in the microwave band of frequencies, hence the term microwave oven. The frequency is a good choice, because it is quite effective in causing dielectric heating in molecules in the food. This is because there are a lot of molecules within the food that will respond to the microwave energy. These molecules, because they have an electric dipole, will attempt to align themselves with the passing electromagnetic wave. They will be trying to turn back and forth at that 2450 MHz, and this generates heat, which warms/cooks the food.
