I'm running into the problem of not being able to make fried foods as well. Tried several different permutations (veggies, meats, different flours and breadcrumbs, different binding agents, etc.), but no matter what I do I cannot get them to make in the mixing bowl. I checked the recipes list in the mod files, and its all there just fine. I have also tried it with all mods installed and uninstalled with a fresh version of Expanded Cooking as well. If you need any logs, or any other info at all, I would be happy to help.
