CFL's even if designated dimmer type, do not work well. Go LED's. They work well and will dim as expected. They cost a whole lot more, but also save a lot more and last forever. I did a string of 100 LED's around the pool, and bought 10 spare bulbs. Even though they are on a every night for 6 hours, I still have 10 spares. And for 100 bulbs I am using a total of 75 watts.
For you kitchen lights you will want a 10 or so watt LED which will cost around $12. But will work with the dimmer and you will never have to replace it. Most are rated either 50,000 or 100,000 hours.
