I wrote "だ" because I thought that "だ" is equivalent to "です". Thanks for telling me that it was incorrectly to add "だ".
With i-adjectives, your choices are おいしい。 and おいしいです。 There is no third option of おいしいだ。 The plain form is just the adjective. The masu form is adjectiveです.
With na-adjectives, you would use だ, however.

おもしろい means both "funny" and "interesting".
Sorry masaegu san, just realized that you asked if I have a good dictionary. I do have one but it is one that is really long ago "Inoue's smaller Japanese-English dictionary" and it was printed in 1987.
