Washington, July 4 Keanu Reeves has apparently set his sights on a new career, for the actor wants to get trained to become a chef.

The 'Speed' star was so impressed with a cookbook by famed French chef Herve This that he says that it has changed his life.

This, who uses science to perfect his culinary skills, has written the book 'Molecular Gastronomy: Exploring the Science of Flavour'.

After reading the tome, Reeves has been spending his spare time experimenting with recipes.

"I'm dabbling in it and looking at becoming a chef. He is fantastic. I didn't really cook before but this book may be changing my life," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. (ANI)
