homely fare


Explanation:
In context, what you are looking for is clearly "husmanskost".

A "husman" is a permanently resided worker out in the fields or forests. I suppose "husmanskost" was traditionally what he ate.

"Homely fare" is proper dinner as opposed to pizzas and sushi etc which seems to be the only thing restaurants in Sweden offer.
