How about:
Five ingredients
64 * 63 * 62* 61 * 60 = 914,941,440
Four ingredients
64 * 63 * 62* 61 = 15,249,024
Three ingredients
64 * 63 * 62 = 249,984
Two ingredients
64 * 63 = 4032
1 ingredient
64
:
Add em up and you get: 930,444,544 combinations

The question asks for combinations not permutations, so the answer will be 64C5
OR
n!/(n-r)!r!
64!/(64-5)!5!
64x63x62x61x60/ 120
= 7,624,512
