Linas Matkasse

What's in the box: Pre-portioned ingredients and recipes for the dinners you pick, plus any extra groceries you add to the order.

Linas Matkasse is a long-running Swedish meal kit service that delivers recipes and ingredients for home-cooked dinners. The weekly menu is large. The site says you can choose from 150 dishes each week, and you can either let Linas pick for you or build your own selection. Most dishes are familiar, family-friendly comfort food, such as pannbiff with onion cream sauce, chicken schnitzel with tomato ragu and meat patties with roasted potatoes. There are also a few international options like chicken tikka masala and Thai beef larb. Potatoes and minced meat come up often, so adventurous cooks may find the range less varied than the number suggests. Linas says it buys carefully selected ingredients from small-scale suppliers, but the site does not say who they are. There is no commitment period, and you can start and stop deliveries whenever you like. You can also add groceries such as bread, juice and fruit from its online shop, which can save you a trip to the store. Prices start from 40 kr per portion. New customers get 30% off the first delivery, 20% off the second and 10% off the third, so expect to pay full price after that. Linas says it delivers to 90% of Swedish households, so check your address before you sign up.
