Three days long....
Now two of those days were Rosh Hashannah, but each day is considered a "different" and unconnected Holiday. That means that we can't cook from day one to day two. When I say "cook" I mean "warm up food," too. So unless you have a fully functioning for Holiday stove/oven, there won't be enough time to heat up much food to any really warm or bacteria-killing temperature before it's time to eat. Yes, we can't start until we light candles again. And we can't light candles until it's dark and stars are out.
That's one of the reasons, I usually choose the second night's menu from food which doesn't need much heating, like fish. Also, the idea of eating so many meat meals, makes my stomach feel like a bunch of bowling balls. We also eat our "Shehechiyanu fruit" then. That's the first time a new fruit of the season is eaten, so we can say the Shehechiyanu prayer on it. We need a reason for that prayer on the second day of Rosh Hashannah.
But, if we do Erev Tavshilin before the first day's Holiday begins we can cook for Shabbat which is immediately after the second day.
Our custom is to use a roll and hard boiled egg.
