homely fare
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.
