In Sweden what food preparation techniques are used?
Very much the same as in any other western country. Deep frying is less common though.
Although Sweden joined the EU, and adopted the Euro as their currency, you can still pay with Norwegian crowns in most of Sweden, this is because of their low prizes on especially tobacco, meat and candy, along with bordering so close to Norway, they get a tremendous amount of Norwegian shoppers. A few minutes away from the boarder are many stores where almost only Norwegians shop.
Funny fact: The largest shopping mall in Norway is located in Sweden, a few minutes from the boarder.

What is the etymology of the Swedish term John Blund?
Blund is correlated to "blunda", which is the word for the Swedish verb to close your eyes. Closing the eyes over an extended period of time is usually analogue with resting or sleeping, which is why John Blund would be considered as the man/thing who would help us fall asleep through closing our eyes at night.
In Sweden, if one has not been able to sleep during the night, the saying "jag har inte fått en blund inatt" still remains, meaning "I have not gotten a blund tonight". The saying may be translated to and considered as that John Blund has not paid a visit during the night, leaving them unable to fall asleep. The belief in John Blund as an actual character is non-existant, however.
