Yeah this looks pretty close to the traditional stuff. Obviously every single family has a slightly different recipe, but some minor things (frying in olive oil, Worcestershire sauce in the brown sauce etc etc) isn't what my family did. All in all this will get you really close.
The only thing I will say is that the recipe says that swelling the breadcrumbs in milk is optional, but I'd definitely say that you should do that

Ikea is to meatballs what McDonald's is to hamburgers. It's aight, and it definitely hits a certain spot, but it's nothing compared to the real thing.

Yeah, but cranberries is probably the best easily available alternative. Lingonberries can be hard to find outside Sweden, Finland and Norway
