The Jazz Age is thought to be between 1918 and 1930. Major grocery stores didn't exist yet; most people bought "staples" (big bags of flour, sugar, salt, cornstarch, etc) and they made nearly everything from scratch. Meat was either bought from the butcher or hunted. Vegetables were from the fruit and vegetable merchant or grown in a personal garden. See the related link for an easy to read chart; go to your time durations and click on the information provided. One excellent old cookbook is known as the Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Open it and you'll see recipes for the type of foods that were served in The Jazz Age. Canned foods existed between 1918 and 1930 but they weren't anything like we have today. And prepared frozen foods were unknown. Nearly everything was made from scratch; most women were in charge of the house and spent hours preparing "canned" foods, soups, breads, desserts, and tending vegetable gardens. Food history is really interesting; what passed for gourmet in previous centuries we wouldn't want to eat today. And if we served frozen, prepared food to one of our ancestors, he might think he was being poisoned!

Definition of renaissance history?
The 1920's usually stir up images of speakeasies and flappers, but for one group of Americans the decade became a time of rebirth known as the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance or Negro Renaissance is the term applied to the movement of Black Americans from the South to the North during the 1920s and 1930s. The Harlem Renaissance, which is also known as the Black Literary Renaissance and The New Negro Movement, began in the neighborhood of Harlem in New York City in which the spirituality and potential of the African-American community was articulated through different forms of artistic expression. The Harlem Renaissance was one generation removed from the Civil War. This time period coincided with black migration to the northern cities to look for employment opportunities that became available after World War I because these types of opportunities were not as readily available to blacks in the South. In the Southern states there was a lack of freedom of expression for African Americans because it was generally demoralized by the Caucasian citizens of the South (black art and other forms of creative expression in black culture was simply censored or manifested itself in an underground forum). The migration to the North, more specifically Harlem, after the First World War led to African Americans finding an outlet for group expression and self determination as a means of achieving equality and civil rights. This era impacted literature (poetry and prose), music (jazz played in the notorious Cotton Club and elsewhere), visual arts (painting), and acting in musicals.
